The AI Generation Is Already Here

Matt Britton on Why Gen Alpha Will Never Know a World Without AI

What’s up, everyone!

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how quickly technology changes the way we live. Not long ago, it felt like a big deal just to have internet access at home. Then the iPhone put the world in our pockets. Now, with AI, the pace of change is so fast it feels like we’re living in the future every single day.

In this week’s episode of Right About Now, I sat down with Matt Britton, author of Generation AI, to talk about what happens when an entire generation, Gen Alpha, grows up never knowing a world without AI. From work and education to culture and relationships, the ripple effects are just beginning.

🔥 Here’s What We Hit

The End of the Knowledge Economy

Knowledge-based jobs, from coding to accounting, are being automated by AI at lightning speed. The advantage is no longer in knowing information but in knowing how to creatively apply it.

Your Move: Reevaluate your skillset. Focus on problem-solving, creativity, and adaptability; things AI can’t easily replace.

The Rising Value of Trades

As white-collar tasks get eaten up by algorithms, physical-world problem solvers (builders, plumbers, electricians, etc.) will see demand rise.

Your Move: If you or your kids are weighing career paths, don’t overlook skilled trades. They’re becoming more future-proof than many office jobs.

Agents Are the Next Frontier

We’re moving from prompts and automations to agents. AI that can act on its own, book trips, manage workflows, even interact with people on your behalf.

Your Move: Start experimenting with AI tools that go beyond Q&A. Learn how agents can save you time by actually “doing” tasks, not just suggesting them.

Speed Is the Ultimate Advantage

Large companies are often too slow to adapt, weighed down by bureaucracy. Nimble organizations and leaders willing to embrace change will thrive in the AI era.

Your Move: Look at your team or business. Where can you eliminate bottlenecks and move faster? Don’t wait. Adaptation only gets harder with time.

🤝 Connect with Matt Britton

The world is changing faster than ever, and AI is at the center of it all. Whether you’re leading a business, raising kids, or navigating your own career, the time to adapt is now. As Matt said, “We’re not going backwards. The train has left the station.”
