Adapt or Get Left Behind: You’re About to Be Replaced — Not by AI, But by People Who Use It Better Than You | Ian Bremmer | Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory | Podwise
This episode explores the multifaceted impacts of President Trump's tariff policies on global trade and the broader geopolitical landscape. Against the backdrop of global trade chaos and uncertainty stemming from these policies, the discussion delves into the reactions of various countries, including allies like Japan and Mexico scrambling for individual deals, and China strengthening its alliances across Asia, Africa, and Latin America. More significantly, the conversation analyzes the long-term consequences of these actions, highlighting the erosion of trust in the United States and the potential for a fragmentation of the global economy. For instance, the guest predicts that while some smaller countries will seek deals to mitigate the impact, relations with Europe and China will remain strained, leading to economic decoupling between the US and China. As the discussion pivoted to domestic policy, the interview touches upon Trump's perceived undermining of the rule of law and the implications for American reputation. Finally, the conversation expands to the transformative potential of AI, its rapid advancement, and the resulting societal and economic shifts, emphasizing the potential for a significant divide between those who adapt and those who do not.
