    The Real Threat of AI: A Futurist's Warning It's Not What You Think
    Jul 30 2025
    Futurist Tom Koulopoulos returns, and his biggest concern about AI isn't robots, it's us. He reveals why the choice to ignore AI is like insisting on a manual typewriter in a world that's already gone digital. In this essential follow-up, Tom shares why he now spends 3-4 hours a day working with AI and busts the biggest 'yeah, but' holding people back: the fear of the unknown. Discover the real, seductive danger of AI that no one is talking about, and why he believes there is simply 'no pulling back'.About Thomas Koulopoulos Tom Koulopoulos is Chairman and founder of Delphi Group, a 30-year-old Boston-based think tank named one of the fastest-growing private companies by Inc. Magazine, and the founding partner of Acrovantage Ventures, which invests in early-stage technology startups. He is also the author of 14 books, an inventor with several patents, an Inc.com columnist, the past Executive Director of the Babson College Center for Business Innovation, the past director of the Dell Innovation Lab, and a professor at Boston University.His insights have received wide praise from luminaries such as the late Peter Drucker, the father of modern management; Dee Hock, founder of Visa International; and Tom Peters, who called his writing, “a brilliant vision of where we must take our enterprises to survive and thrive.” His Inc. column is read by over one million people yearly.Mr. Koulopoulos’ fourteen books include Reimagining Healthcare, Revealing the Invisible, The Gen Z Effect, The Innovation Zone, and Cloud Surfing. His latest book, Gigatrends, looks at the six tech trends that are shaping the future of how we live, work, and play.About Marc WolfeMarc A.

At 16, he launched a photography business, capturing U.S. presidents, prominent leaders, and NFL teams. He ran two businesses while earning his marketing degree, including one supporting early Apple products at Fortune 500 companies.

    Yeah, But: How to Overcome "I'm Not Qualified" and Unlock Million-Dollar Opportunities


    From small-town Georgia tennis courts to a medical device executive, Woody Bibb reveals how he transformed limiting beliefs into career success. He discusses overcoming "I'm not qualified" thoughts and now mentors others while helping develop breakthrough cortisol monitoring technology.

    About Woody Bibb

    30+ years of demonstrated success in sales leadership, business development, product-market-fit, and pilot project execution. My foundation in the medical device industry began during the rapid-growth years at Boston Scientific and Guidant/Abbott Vascular prior to working with several start up and early commercialization companies for 15 years. Five of those companies were acquired, three by Boston Scientific. I am passionate about mentoring, strategic coaching and maximizing the collaboration of healthcare, medical devices, and life sciences innovators and entrepreneurs, especially in the Nashville area and the state of Tennessee.
