The development of AI has brought humanity to the cusp of a seismic change the likes of which has never been seen before. Workforces of the future will be dramatically different, as some jobs become obsolete and people scramble to learn new skills and ways of working.

But just as this intelligence revolution has called into question the role of humans, could it be the catalyst for more purposeful leadership and smarter working? Could the very essence of being human – empathy, creativity and collaboration – become skills more important than ever as AI increasingly takes over dull, dirty, difficult and dangerous tasks?  

Join the world’s first neuro-futurist, Joel Pearson, in conversation with leadership coach and transformation expert, Barbara Wilby, for an evening that will be part panel discussion and part masterclass.

Hosted by the ABC’s Tegan Taylor, Pearson and Wilby will examine how we can respond to AI by actively using it to enhance decision-making, amplify human strengths and lead through uncertainty.
