THE AI IMPERATIVE: BECOMING QUINTESSENTIALLY HUMAN
Featured Speaker: Steven H. Cady, Ph.D.

This talk explores how AI is reshaping the future of work and learning, emphasizing the urgent need to develop truly human skills—creativity, empathy, collaboration, and complex problem-solving—that machines cannot replicate. Drawing from neuroscience and critiques of industrial-era education and management, the presentation reveals how routine, passive learning environments limit adaptability and innovation. Attendees will gain insights into reclaiming the "whole brain" approach, fostering cognitive flexibility, and designing work and learning spaces that nurture human strengths in an AI-driven world. Join us to discover what makes us quintessentially human in partnership with advancing technology.
