Embracing Creativity in the Age of AI

In an era defined by rapid technological advancement, creativity emerges as a pivotal skill for the 21st century. This keynote speech will explore the essential role of creativity in navigating the complexities of our modern world, particularly in the wake of artificial intelligence and its extensive use in many areas of personal and professional life.

As AI continues to reshape industries and redefine human roles, it is imperative that we harness our uniquely human abilities for creative and critical thinking. Possibility thinking as an approach to encourage creative problem solving will be explored as a way to bridge the gap between AI capabilities and human ingenuity in a way to empower individuals not only to adapt to change but to anticipate it and manage it.
