Keynote

This Age of AI is an age to RE(member)—what it means to be whole, to be human, and to be in communion with each other and with the intelligence that is reshaping our world with us.

About This Session

Counterintuitively, when the world's pace of change is accelerating and it feels out of control - and we feel disoriented as a result - the answer isn't to get more frenetic and try to match the velocity of disruption, frantically attempting to hold down something uncontrollable and getting more flustered and uncertain in the meantime.

The answer is... to... SLOW... down.

This Age of AI is an age to RE(member)—what it means to be whole, human, and in communion with each other and the intelligence that is reshaping our world with us.

AI is not just a tool. It is a technology for human empowerment, even human enlightenment. And to work with it—to truly thrive in this new era—we must return to being beyond our mental intelligence.
