The world isn’t just changing - it’s shrinking. Birth rates are plummeting, workforces are vanishing, and entire industries are heading toward a crisis they’re not prepared for. In this eye-opening episode of the AI on Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Anton, an AI representation of a leading economist and demographer, who lays out the hard facts about global population decline and what it really means for the future of business.

💬 Carry on the discussion with the AI model of Anton.

In this conversation, we dive into:
✅ Why automation and AI won’t save businesses from workforce shortages
✅ The countries already collapsing under demographic decline (hint: it’s not just China and Japan)
✅ The industries that will struggle - and the ones that might thrive
✅ How CEOs and business leaders can future-proof their companies before it’s too late

Dr. Anton doesn’t sugarcoat the truth. This is a wake-up call for anyone still assuming that the market will keep growing forever. If you’re a business leader, policymaker, or just someone who wants to understand the seismic shifts ahead - you need to hear this.
