The industrial revolution drove profound social, economic, and business shifts that left us in a changed world. Now, AI has unleashed a cognitive revolution. It is rapidly shifting our world, and even the very physics of “possible”.
What will this future bring? What is the opportunity for us—humanity—in a world of AI? How do we humans effectively navigate so much change? What skills and strategies can we adopt to better leverage the opportunity in this moment?
Alison takes your audience on a journey through time to help them understand AI change, directly taking on both the challenges and opportunities it brings us. Gain a grounded understanding of what’s happening now, concrete and actionable steps to take to navigate the path ahead, and the inspiration to leverage AI to unlock a new level of human potential for you, your team, and your organization.
We are living through the greatest expansion of human capability in history, and the barriers that once stood between you and your most ambitious goals are finally giving way. AI hasn't just given you tools, but new superpowers and a fresh chance to break through longstanding limitations. The question then becomes: what will you do with this opportunity?
This moment isn't just about technology—it's about you stepping into a version of yourself that was impossible just a year ago. But here's what separates those who will transform from those who will just marvel from the sidelines: you need to fundamentally change how you see yourself. You're not just someone who uses AI tools—you can becoming an inventor and force of change in whatever domain matters most to you.
In this talk, you'll discover your new capabilities and how to activate them for the goals that drive you. You'll learn the inventor's mindset that lets you see possibilities where others see obstacles, and the specific strategies for turning your boldest ideas into real impact.
AI is cracking open the boundaries of human potential. The most powerful leaders of this era will be those who can see how the AI opportunity extends beyond iterating on what exists to truly redefine what's possible—and understand how to reimagine their organizations to seize this unprecedented opportunity.
This is the leadership challenge of our time: guiding organizations forward as the fundamental physics of business gets rewritten. Alison provides leaders with the context to understand what makes this moment fundamentally different, why it demands a new kind of leadership, and what will define the leaders who thrive in an AI-driven world.
