Can AI really predict the future — our careers, markets, or personal decisions?

In this episode, we take a calm, beginner-friendly look at what AI can and can’t reliably predict, and why chasing certainty often creates more stress than clarity. Instead of hype or crystal-ball thinking, we explore how AI can be used as a thoughtful tool for preparation, reflection, and better decision-making.

We talk about:

  • Why AI predictions are often misunderstood

  • How AI can help you prepare for the future without guessing it

  • Using AI as a thinking partner, not a fortune teller

  • A simple “5-Year Future Self” prompt to help you focus on what matters now

This episode is for anyone who wants to understand AI’s role in the future — without panic, pressure, or technical overwhelm.
