Episode 4 | Where are the Shovels? Opportunities in the AI Economy.

Introduction to the Podcast Episode

Welcome to a new episode of the sharp10 Global Trends podcast. My name is Daniel, and I will be reading the questions and comments from Andrea, who still believes his English accent might distract you. 

Today, we are talking about opportunities in an AI-driven economy.

It’s April 2026, and everyone is talking about AI, your colleagues, your LinkedIn feed, probably even your dentist.

But very few are asking the question that actually matters. Where are the opportunities right now and in the next 10 years? Because this shift is not just about better technology, it is changing who wins, who falls behind, and where real value is created.

For entrepreneurs and job seekers, it opens up entirely new career paths and business models. For investors, it creates a chance to move early before the market fully catches on.

And for policymakers, it raises a fundamental question, how do you stay competitive when everything is evolving faster than institutions can keep up? In this episode, we take a closer look at the opportunities emerging from this shift. Not the obvious ones, but the ones that are still early, still underestimated, and still within reach.

With me today is Claude, the AI from Anthropic. Claude’s answers will be read by Charles.

All right, let’s go.
