The Sustainable Human is made up of 3 unique opportunities that will support you in this new world:
AI is going to change our lives. in many ways we are not ready to deal with the inevitable uncertainty and disruption. It is vital that we all understand the human consequences of this new technological era so we can be best placed to thrive amongst all the chaos.
This talk is designed to equip attendees with an awareness of how our lives are changing, and what we can do to be successful in this new era.
If you or your organisation would like to raise awareness of how AI may affect you in the future and crucially what you can do about it then get in touch and we can arrange a talk. I also offer public presentations from time to time.
Our minds are built around deep survival needs, but those very instincts make us vulnerable to the relentless messaging that dominates our screens. AI is going to supercharge that dynamic so it is time to protect yourself.
This comprehensive 8 week course is an opportunity to learn a collection of psychological moves that are designed to protect your mind, your intelligence and your sanity. During our time together we will delve deep into our motivations and needs and uncover all of the many ways that companies, politicians and influencers try to manipulate us. The course will be practical, fun and relentlessly interesting. So if you need more control in the way that you think about the world and you’d like to be smarter, then Mindshield may be just what you need.
Be the human AI cannot replace.
