BNC#9 | The AI reckoning: Stafford Masie says jobs, healthcare & banking are all about to transform

Your phone tells you which menu items will wreck your afternoon before you've ordered. Your investment portfolio is run by an agent that never sleeps. And the loyalty programme you've belonged to for years? It might not survive contact with your own smartwatch. At BNC#9, former Google South Africa boss and Discovery board member Stafford Masie skips the slides and goes straight for the uncomfortable stuff: an agent that hacked a gym booking system to get its owner into a full class, a compute shortage that's driving prices up even as supply grows, and a warning that South African businesses of any size could run with half the staff within three years. He also names the healthcare boss he sent an unanswered memo to, live, on record. This one is worth watching in full.
