AI and the Future of Happiness
Neuroscience of Change
Throughout the course of human history, technological innovations have consistently sparked fear and apprehension, but AI's remarkable power and complexity set it apart. Its emergence has ignited heated debates and given rise to endless doomsday scenarios, capturing our collective imagination. However, this preoccupation with fear neither addresses the challenges at hand nor propels us toward a future of greater happiness. In this talk, Amy Blankson, co-founder and Chief Evangelist for the Digital Wellness Institute, will illuminate a path toward a future of AI focused on human-centered flourishing, pulling from her wealth of experience working with leaders and organizations in more than 60 countries. As captured in her bestseller The Future of Happiness, Amy’s passion is seeing AI brought into our personal and professional lives in a way that will ultimately define our identity as a human race and shape the course of happiness for our future.
