Navigating AI Revolution: Work, Geopolitics, and Estonia’s Playbook - AIPowerment Podcast #54

Praktilise AI-kirjaoskuse teejuht – Eesti nr 1. AI podcasti 54. episoodi toob Sinuni AIPowerment (https://www.aipowerment.ee/)!

Tänane episood on eriline, sest salvestasime selle Latitude59 sündmusel ning seetõttu on esmakordselt vestlus toimumas inglise keeles. We’ll dive into three crucial themes: how AI is reshaping the future of work, the influence of shifting geopolitics on the global AI race, and how Estonia can find its unique advantage in this evolving landscape.

We’ve got two brilliant guests to help us explore these topics: Taavi Tammiste, co-founder of the computer-vision start-up Fyma and a trusted advisor to companies building with AI, and Luukas-Kristjan Ilves, former Chief Information Officer of the Estonian government and now adviser to Ukraine’s Deputy Prime Minister on AI-driven digital transformation.

This episode’s main topics:
🟣 How AI is transforming the future of work and the rise of AI agents;
🟣 The US vs Europe — regulation, innovation speed, and market dynamics;
🟣 Startup strategies — how founders can navigate deregulation, policy swings, and hardware cost volatility;
🟣 Future of leadership — becoming an ‘agent-boss’ managing AI co-workers;
🟣 Who should take responsibility for reskilling in the AI era — companies, governments, or individuals;
🟣 The emergence of AI-first and AI-only companies — and what that means for traditional organizations;
🟣 What Estonia should do next to maintain its leadership in digital governance and AI readiness.

💬 Key insights from the podcast:

🗣 „These days, it's not about designing a website — it's about designing an interface for interactions with AI agents.”

🗣 „The future may not be AI-first companies, but AI-only companies.

🗣 „When regulation is too light, AI-driven fraud and security risks can surge — and public pressure for stricter rules will quickly follow.”
