Is AI making us dumb? It doesn't have to. In fact, AI can actually make us better humans. It can promote and coach critical thinking, emotional intelligence, and competence. It can help us think better, be more strategic, stress-test assumptions, challenge blind spots, and make sharper decisions. BUT, it has to be configured strategically to do so.
In this keynote, AI futurist Liz B. Baker shows you how AI can work for students, career seekers, leaders, employees, and anyone else to nurture better outcomes and brighter futures. The future doesn't belong to people who work with AI. It belongs to people who teach AI how to coach them to the best version of themselves.
Why This Matters Now
The conversation about AI has been stuck on productivity. That matters, but it's the floor, not the ceiling. The real opportunity is using AI to elevate how people think, decide, and lead.
The AI Thinking Model™ is a framework for configuring AI as a cognitive coach, not just a task automator. Organizations that adopt it don't just work faster. They think sharper.
