POST AGI

AGI is reshaping who holds power. The window to change that is now. PostAGI is where that work gets done.

Podcast

PostAGI is a podcast on what AGI changes for labour, capital, governance, markets, privacy, and the world. Each season brings together the economists, political scientists, and builders thinking hardest about the world on the other side of the AGI debate.

The premise

AGI is quietly rearranging who holds power. The default is concentration, with intelligence pooling in the hands of a few governments, corporations, and labs. For most people that shows up as eroding agency, expertise devalued, job security thinning, a future being built by a small number of people in a small number of buildings.

PostAGI starts from the belief that this is not the only outcome. Coordination has always been humanity's deepest advantage. Markets, democracy, the scientific commons. In a world where intelligence concentrates by default, coordination is the counterweight.

This show is where that argument gets tested in public. Each season we sit down with the people thinking hardest not about whether AGI arrives, but who it serves once it does. The goal is to take the PostAGI world seriously enough to shape it, not just inherit it.
