AI: The Electronics Are Us and Not Them
A Former Meta Ads and Leo Burnett executive discusses our fundamental relationship with technology, positioning AI as an extension of our collective consciousness.
About This Session
Former Meta Ads and Leo Burnett executive in this thought-provoking session will invite business leaders and no-code executives to reconsider our fundamental relationship with technology—positioning AI not as a separate entity to be harnessed, but as an inevitable extension of our collective consciousness. Examining the dissolving boundaries between creator and creation, Brian will illuminate how the next wave of AI integration necessitates a profound shift in how we conceptualize intelligence and its expression through computation.
He will trace the historical arc of automation's acceleration, demonstrating how computational systems represent the formalization of human thought patterns—and why this transformation demands continuous reinvention of our purpose. Attendees will gain insight into navigating a world where yesterday's week-long projects become today's hourly tasks, requiring us to perpetually move upstream in our thinking. Brian's perspective transcends conventional productivity narratives to address the philosophical imperative of finding meaning in an increasingly automated landscape, ultimately challenging each participant to discover what remains uniquely theirs to contribute when everything that can be formalized, will be.
