In this thought-provoking, ultra-wide screen talk, I speak about 'al Mustaqbal' —the future. The talk focuses on the convergence of humans and machines, and what that means for work, jobs and education.

I believe we are at a fork in the road moment: we can leverage AI for a positive future or misuse it, leading to adverse outcomes like job displacement. This is also why I believe we need to #haltagi while we figure out how to effectively collaborate. I advocate for AI to be used as intelligent assistants rather than as human replacements, emphasizing the need for human control over AI developments and the importance of social and emotional skills in the future. Keep the human in the loop! Forego #artificialgeneralintelligence

The talk underscores the critical need for educational reform, focusing on creativity, imagination, and emotional intelligence, as machines take over routine tasks. I call for responsible tech development aiming for human flourishing rather than kindling an arms race in AI, urging the audience to ponder the future they desire for their children.
