CNBC Interview On Generation AI At CEO Summit
In a high-impact conversation with CNBC’s Morgan Brennan, Generation AI author Matt Britton makes one thing clear: the AI-native generation isn’t coming—they’re already here. Generation Alpha (born 2010–2025) is the first cohort raised from birth with artificial intelligence not as a tool, but as a constant, invisible co-pilot in their lives.
This moment isn’t just about new tech. It’s about a total reset of how we think about work, learning, and human potential. Below are some of the core ideas Matt explores in both the interview—and the Generation AI book.
What You Need to Know About Generation Alpha
80% of Their Future Jobs Don’t Exist Yet
By 2030, most of today’s job titles will be obsolete or radically redefined. Britton warns: careers built on repeatable knowledge are vulnerable. The winners will be problem solvers, artists, and creators who can harness AI—not compete with it .
Education Is Running on Outdated Code
Gen Alpha is being taught like it’s 1995—textbooks, memorization, standardized tests. Meanwhile, they’re using AI tools to write essays and answer questions faster than their teachers can grade them. “Facts are free,” Britton argues. “The future belongs to those who can think critically, not just recall information” .
Skills That Will Survive the Disruption
Britton’s guidance is sharp: go deep into art or science. Everything in the middle—marketing generalists, middle managers, financial analysts—is being automated. AI won’t replace creative, strategic thinkers. But it will replace people doing things that can be learned by a machine .
He Built His Own AI Doctor. You Can Too.
In the book, Britton describes building a personal AI health assistant that analyzes his MRIs, lab reports, and even suggests follow-up appointments—no coding skills required. That’s not the future. That’s now .
Short-Term Pain. Long-Term Progress.
AI will hit the job market hard—especially for white-collar roles. But it’s also the greatest productivity unlock since the internet. Britton’s take: this wave will be brutal for the unprepared and explosive for those ready to reinvent .
