Can technology make us more human

From the first rudimentary stone tools to the might of the industrial revolution, we have consistently transcended human limitations through our ability to imagine, create and use new technologies. But these tools didn’t just redefine our work; they redefined our desires and our very identity. Now, with the emergence of AI and machine learning, this cycle continues, challenging us to once again reconsider what it means to be human.

For leaders, this has led to a critical challenge: How do we encourage the uptake of these new digital tools and at the same time support our people to succeed in the face of what feels like overwhelming change?

Simon reveals that the progress of technology, while transformative, is not entirely unpredictable. He offers a framework for understanding this ongoing narrative of human-technology interaction, and how we can actively shape its next chapter. He shows that by leveraging technology, we can invest in the uniquely human qualities that will allow us to succeed. This session offers a powerful lens through which to view our past, understand our present, and prepare for our future.
