Eclipsed by AI: Navigating the Future of Work and Innovation | Sam Sammane | TEDxUPV Women
This marked the beginning of what Dr. Sam Sammane calls the “digital proletariat,” a new class of AI-powered laborers performing repetitive, low-creativity tasks once held by humans. Drawing parallels with Karl Marx’s working class, the talk explores the economic and existential consequences of this shift: while these AI workers boost efficiency and profits, they also displace human jobs and threaten the sense of purpose many derive from work. Sam Sammane is a luminary in the ever-dynamic dataset of AI, dedicated to harnessing technological advancements. With a Bachelor’s and Master’s in Applied Physics, a Master’s in Digital Circuit Design, and a Ph.D. in Nanotechnology, Sam is also a seasoned entrepreneur with multiple successful exits, having founded innovative companies like Garmen, Labofine, SBI Solutions, American Testing Lab, and Tetnamus Labs of America. His expertise covers a broad spectrum, from applied physics to business. Sam's book, "The Singularity of Hope," reflects his journey from a young, inquisitive mind to a leader in technology and human experience. His insights into AI, the economy, and job futures are informed by his extensive experience in various fields.
