Keynote by Jared Weiner:
In an increasingly tech-fueled world, where AI is both dominating the conversation and the workplace, it’ll be as important as ever to lock in on the two pillars that makes us uniquely human (agency + identity), and learn how to optimize them so that people not only stay relevant, but win the future.
The idea of “humans in the loop” still portends AI in the captain’s chair, with us as the sidekick. Instead, the future must be characterized by humans as the loop: Humans directing with intuition and strategic intent, while AI serves as our sidekick.
Human “intelligence,” or smarts, will not be enough of a differentiator. AI is evolving as a distinct form of intelligence – sometimes far more capable. Instead, Agency + Identity (A+I) will be the keys to retaining human relevance and unlocking human potential.
Keynote by Jared Weiner:
Jared applies lessons learned from his personal evolution as a futurist, through the lens of several current trends, to help each person in the audience become their own version of a “reformed futurist.”
This session is about distinguishing the signals that really matter from all the noise in what are unprecedented times. It will ultimately shake people up with a healthy dose of common sense, and it will better prepare them for the uncertainty of an unpredictable future.
Keynote by Jared Weiner:
The concept of escape velocity, borrowed from physics, refers to achieving a rapid enough rate of speed to escape the gravitational pull of a larger object.
For years, Jared has applied this frame to the fact that the larger object was represented by our old, often industrial, ways of doing business. Now, given the rise of AI, this concept is even more critical. We’re faced with escaping the gravitational pull of AI itself, as it promises to reshape business and society.
Jared introduces their proprietary ESCAPE framework, which lays out six “AI illusions” as we integrate AI into all aspects of our personal and professional lives.
