Being Human in the Age of AI | What Should We Keep for Ourselves?

What should we remain capable of doing for ourselves?

AI can increasingly answer our questions, generate our ideas and shape what we pay attention to. But what happens when we begin to outsource the very things that make us human?

In this thought-provoking talk, Colin Corby explores the relationship between technology, attention, curiosity, imagination and human agency. Drawing on ideas from neuroscience, technology and philosophy, he asks whether our growing dependence on AI could change not only how we work, but how we think, experience and understand the world.

Technology narrows attention; nature widens it.

Colin explores why curiosity matters, how reconnecting with the physical world can help us reclaim our attention, and what we should, and shouldn't, outsource to AI.

The question is no longer simply what can AI do?

It is: what do we want to remain capable of doing for ourselves?

Colin asks some difficult questions about whether we have already reached a tipping point, and, more importantly, what we can do now to protect our curiosity, imagination and agency, and build our human resilience for an AI-powered future.

Digital Wellbeing - Half day program

High performance teams require their managers and professionals to be able to perform at their best, consistently, healthily and sustainably. To do this they need the information, understanding and tools to balance their work with their needs as biological and social beings. Getting this right can improve productivity, creativity, teamwork and create resilience to stress and burnout.

But we have to live and work with technology which brings enormous advantages and possibilities, but it also poses many significant personal and organisational challenges. It’s no surprise that many people struggle to strike a sustainable balance between their online and offline lives, leading to a range of complex issues, such as

• Reduced ability to focus, be creative and productive and are more easily distracted.
• Having no time for essential self-care leading to poorer health and well-being outcomes.
• Feeling less connection with colleagues and other people even though fully connected online.
• Overusing digital devices leading to the buildup of stress, anxiety, and even burnout.

This half day program helps employees and managers develop the essential skills to more effectively manage their focus and attention, be more productive and present with the people around them.
