Keynote: Future-Ready: Elevating Humanity’s Edge Amidst AI and Robotic

In an era increasingly shaped by AI and automation, we risk overlooking the crucial “power skills”—empathy, creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking—that define our uniquely human capacity to innovate and adapt. In this talk, we’ll explore how honing these future-proof skills can keep us at the forefront of change, ensuring that technological transformation doesn’t overshadow our greatest asset: our humanity. Drawing on experiences from global innovation projects, I will share actionable strategies for integrating these power skills into our teams and workplaces, so that the rise of AI becomes an opportunity to elevate human ingenuity rather than replace it.
