The AI Revolution Will Rival the Industrial One, and It Has Begun

Originally aired 2024

Journalist and broadcaster Llewellyn King argues that the AI revolution is as transformative as the Industrial Revolution — and that it has already begun. At the center of this upheaval is electricity: the essential, obedient ingredient powering every AI system.

King explores how AI is reshaping work, medicine, and the energy grid, and why the political class has yet to fully reckon with the scale of what is underway. He draws on conversations with leading AI thinkers including Omar Hatamleh, Chief AI Officer at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center.
