“AI’s a tool—a powerful one—but its impact comes from how we use it. So the challenge is to wield it wisely and shape the future we want.”

— Marc Randolph, Co-founder of Netflix

In this age of GenAI, robots, and machine learning, you probably have a lot of questions. Chief among them is, “How do humans fit into this new world?” followed by, “How can I use these tools to work more efficiently?” Or perhaps you want to know, “How can I stay ahead in my job or keep my business competitive in my industry?” 

At BigSpeak Speakers Bureau, we work with some of the top technology keynote speakers in the industry who are answering these questions for individuals and businesses. These technology experts have been at the forefront of technological changes, from the invention of Siri to the creation of ChatGPT.

Here are a few insights from our top technology speakers about AI and business.

Lean into your human qualities.

According to Zack Kass, the former Head of GTM for OpenAI, “AI is going to solve for a lot of things, but not the core things we’re good at as humans,” such as empathy, courage, and optimism. 

For example, AI might be able to fix the grammar of your book or tweak the code you write, but it won’t tell you if the book you wrote was enjoyable for an audience or if the code you wrote was useful to your customers. We’ll always need humans and human insights in an AI world.

Improve your human experience.

According to Tan Le, the founder of Emotiv, “There’s never been a more immense opportunity to use data science to improve human health—and the human experience.” For example, AI is being used to help in medicine. It can also be used to enhance the human experience by automating routine tasks (such as emails and summaries), allowing you to focus on more creative tasks.

Use AI as a tool to augment—not replace—your intelligence

According to Adam Cheyer, creator of Siri, “No matter how smart AI gets, it’s not going to solve all our problems by itself.” It can be a tool to augment your intelligence to tackle the big problems in the world and in your industry. 

Essentially, AI requires humans to input data and guide it in solving problems. Humans are needed to ask the big questions.

Trust between humans will become more valuable than your data.

According to Eric O’Neill, cybersecurity expert and legendary FBI operative featured in the film Breach, “When we can’t even believe what we see going into this new future with AI, trust becomes the most valuable thing on earth, even more valuable than data—because you can’t even trust your data.” 

This means your organization will need to develop new protocols to safeguard data and to create trust with your customers, clients, and employees.
