How Young People Can Compete with AI | Pivot

Kara and Scott are opening up the listener mailbag, and taking questions from Pivot fans! They discuss why new tech doesn't inspire awe anymore, like Steve Jobs unveiling the first iMac. Then, a call about why China's BYD electric vehicles are so innovative, and what would happen if the cars ever came to the U.S. And some parenting advice on navigating career choices in the age of AI, and how to have "The Talk" with your kids. Plus, why tech launches don't thrill us like they used to, and a question on time travel! #karaswisher #scottgalloway #pivotpodcast #2000s #2010s #newtech #stevejobs #macworld #apple #innovation #parenting #digitalparenting #kidsandtech #sextalk #byd #evcars #usvschina #techpolicy #datasurveillance #timetravel #nostalgia #1980s Timecodes: 00:00 Intro 00:40 Tech Wonderment 8:03 Having “The Talk” with Kids 16:44 AI and the Job Market 26:21 BYD Cars in the U.S.? 34:17 Time Travel Producers: Lara Naaman Zoë Marcus Taylor Griffin Kevin Oliver Audio Engineer: Ernie Indradat Production Assistance: Drew Burrows Mia Silverio Dan Chiolan Vox Media's Executive Producer of Podcasts: Nishat Kurwa Subscribe to Pivot on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pivot/id1073226719 Subscribe to Pivot on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4MU3RFGELZxPT9XHVwTNPR Follow us on Instagram and Threads at: https://www.instagram.com/pivotpodcastofficial Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@PIVOTPODCAST Send us your questions by calling us at 855-51-PIVOT, or at https://podcasts.voxmedia.com/show/pivot This episode is presented to you by IBM. https://ibm.com
