A lot has changed for us millennials in the last 20 years. But our vantage point has never been more valuable.We millennials occupy a uniquely peculiar position. We grew up in the pre-digital world, listening to music on cassette tapes, playing outside until it was too dark to see, socialising in the sandpit rather than on a screen, far less algorithmically programmed than Gen Z. And yet we came of age precisely when the internet did. I was one of the first users of Facebook at Harvard, watching the digital world being built in real time.And now comes AI. We are entering proper adulthood, assuming real influence and power, at the precise moment the age of AI is being born. Here’s the thing: we are still young enough to adapt our careers around it. And because of our in-betweenness, one foot in the physical world, one foot in the digital, we are uniquely positioned not just to benefit from this revolution, but to be a source of genuine positive influence.\n\nAI for The Real WorldWe are the perfect generation to apply AI to the real world, and here is why: we are the only generation that has both mastered the digital world and the old physical economy.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFree Thinking - City AM Opinion Newsletter\nGet weekly sparky insight and expert commentary on markets, entrepreneurship and innovation from City AM’s Opinion Editor, delivered every Saturday.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe grew up with an innate understanding of physical reality: owning physical CDs, navigating without Google Maps (a friend’s child recently looked at a paper map and called it “paper GPS”), working as waiters with zero digital infrastructure. That upbringing gave us something Gen Z largely lacks: a deep, intuitive appreciation for the human element of decision-making and the physical constraints of the real world.We also spent years acting as translators between our Gen X bosses and Boomer parents on one side, and the digital realm on the other. Does Gen Z do that for us? No, because we are already fluent in both languages. That bilingualism is a superpower that is only now coming into its own.If this AI revolution is going to reach beyond Silicon Valley and into the real economy, it will be because millennials have the capability to translate the power of the modern AI tech stack into operations, communications and decisions that the rest of the world can actually adopt and understand. No other generation can do that as naturally as we can.\n\nDigital DetoxIt is a sobering statistic that millennials appear to represent peak cognitive performance in all human history, with Gen Z showing measurably lower levels of both cognitive capability and conscientiousness than their parents. The evidence is mounting that growing up digitally native, immersed in social media, tablets, and smartphones from birth, has genuinely hampered the cognitive development of an entire generation. The Gen Z backlash against technology is itself a symptom of this.We millennials have a distinct advantage of timing here. We learned to be digital young enough to master it, but old enough to remember what it means to be fully human without it. That purely human experience, free of screens, is something we are desperately trying to pass on to our Generation Alpha children. It is our duty as the in-between generation to reignite in-person human connection and a relationship with the physical world for the generations that follow.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.42.1","shortVersion":"4.42.1","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2632694584","isCrawlerRequest":true}
