John Hope Bryant speaks with UAE AI Minister Omar Sultan Al Olama on innovation and the future economy.
In one of the most powerful conversations ever recorded on Money and Wealth, John Hope Bryant sits down with His Excellency Omar Sultan Al Olama — the world’s first Minister of Artificial Intelligence — for a visionary dialogue on leadership, technology, and the future of humanity.
From growing up in a startup nation to helping shape global AI policy, Minister Al Olama shares how the UAE is planning not just for tomorrow — but for the next 100 years. Together, John and Omar unpack how artificial intelligence is already reshaping jobs, power, education, economies, and human identity itself.
They explore why AI is not just technology, but infrastructure… why intelligence plus everything is the next gold rush… and why the choices we make today will define generations yet unborn. Listen to the full episode here of this Money & Wealth Podcast episode with His Excellency Omar Sultan Al Olama. Minister of AI for the United Arab Emirates, and my new friend.
This is not a tech interview.
This is a blueprint for the future.
As an important side note, Operation HOPE was honored to welcome Minister Al Olama as the newest member of the AI Ethics Council, co-chaired by Sam Altman and myself.
