AI Is Taking Over — But Who’s Really Benefiting, and Who’s Paying the Price?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the world at lightning speed, revolutionizing industries, reshaping the workforce, and changing how we live. But behind all the excitement about technological advancement lies a critical question: At what cost, and who is really benefiting?

I’m joined by Kellen Coleman for a powerful and thought-provoking conversation about the rapid rise of artificial intelligence and its potential impact on our jobs, natural resources, communities, and future generations.

While tech giants are investing billions into AI development, concerns are growing about job displacement, the enormous electricity demands of data centres, water consumption for cooling systems, and the environmental consequences of expanding AI infrastructure.

And let’s not forget the communities that may bear the burden of these developments without sharing equally in the economic benefits.

For Black communities and other historically marginalized populations, the conversation becomes even more important. Will AI create meaningful economic opportunities, or will existing inequalities deepen as automation transforms the labour market?

Who controls this technology? Who profits from it? And who gets a seat at the table when decisions affecting our future are made?

Artificial intelligence may be the future, but technological progress should not come at the expense of people, communities, or our planet.

Innovation without accountability is not necessarily progress.

Join Kellen Coleman and me as we unpack the promises, risks, and uncomfortable questions surrounding AI.

Because the real question isn’t just what artificial intelligence can do — it’s who benefits, who pays, and who gets left behind.
