Original episode description
We've produced many episodes about artificial intelligence, but this one is unique. Our guest has a wealth of experience, having lived and studied in Jordan before moving to America, specifically to Silicon Valley, the epicenter of technology and artificial intelligence. He founded a company that has transformed the concept of programming worldwide! My guest for this episode is Amjad Masad, the founder and CEO of Replit. Amjad believes that the world doesn't need traditional programmers to create applications and websites; instead, anyone—even those without programming knowledge—can build an application or a website on their own using artificial intelligence. As Amjad explains, Replit will enable many people to bring their ideas and projects to life, thereby expanding entrepreneurship, especially in Arab countries. However, there remains a distinction between entrepreneurship in the Arab world and in the West, as we rarely hear about Arab companies achieving global recognition. What sets their environment apart from ours? And why does Amjad believe that artificial intelligence will have a brighter future in our region? This episode offers a fascinating discussion about the future of artificial intelligence, the fate of programmers and jobs, why major companies struggle to implement AI, and how they cope with its growing influence.
