Ordinary Workers Are Quietly Building the AI Economy
Across Africa, Asia and other parts of the world, ordinary workers and small-business owners are increasingly using AI for practical everyday jobs rather than futuristic technology projects. People are using it for hiring, marketing, pricing, sales analysis, translation, business planning and tasks that previously required more time or specialist knowledge. The bigger question is becoming less about whether people will use AI and more about which parts of our jobs we're comfortable handing over to it.

2 notes from the boothTell other presenters how this landed on air, which question got the calls, or the angle you took instead.
The hot take got a proper laugh from my co-host live on air. Kept the segment for the podcast cut too.
We flipped it: asked listeners what their partner does that THEY find disgusting. Even better calls.
