The impact of AI on the future of organisations and humanity
AI is neither hype nor new! However, it is more urgent than ever to include in a future-proof strategy.
More detailed information
This is not hype; since 1957, scientists have been trying to develop algortimes to mimic the human brain. Hence, since the emergence of Large Language Models (LLMs) using Generative AI, this future seems to be getting closer and closer.
Today, AI is ubiquitous, influencing organisations and their employees at an unseen speed. Executives, as well as employees who think they don't need to adapt to it, will soon find themselves at an irreversible disadvantage. The question is therefore not whether AI deserves its permanent place in a human-machine symbiosis but how. What is expected for sustainable strategies, future leadership and how will this affect the organisation.
This Keynote will be tailored to your target audience and expected outcomes. It can also be brought additionally as an executive workshop to shape the future together using tools as Reverse Engineering and Algorithmic Business Thinking, among others.
About
Katja Schipperheijn is an internationally recognised author, strategist, futurist, lecturer and keynote speaker. Her expertise focuses on AI and pioneering innovations that create a human-machine symbiosis to enable learning ecosystems to flourish. In doing so, she advocates adopting a learning mindset at the personal, team and corporate levels not to become overwhelmed, but to thrive and sustainably shape the future itself.
Her provocative ideas challenge traditional dogmas and offer fresh perspectives. Sheinspires everyone to adapt and embrace learning before they suffer irreversible damage because AI and other innovations are already pervasive. They are affecting organisations and their employees with unprecedented speed. To incite change, she does not shy away from hypes and discusses the impact of what now seem futuristic, such as Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) or hyper-realistic avatars that make deepfaking a child's play.
Katja explores the intersection of technology and humanity and its impact on our society. For example, she looks at how competences such as imagination, curiosity and consilience play a role. She explores the similarities between neuroscience and computer science to optimise the learning of both human and artificial intelligence. Human connection is paramount in shaping the future of work, which is why she often draws her inspiration from the future as seen through the eyes of children.
Katja's keynote speeches are therefore engaging and inspiring for a very diverse audience. Often, her keynotes are the starting point for a future readiness workshop and a continuous improvement project.
Besides advising governments, multinationals, educational institutions and start-ups, Katja is also a philanthropist as founder of sCooledu and author of Little Digital Citizens (Dutch 2018). More than 15,000 children have already participated in her workshops on the future and the increasingly virtual world. This shows her commitment to social responsibility and the importance of promoting digital literacy among young people. By booking Katja for an event, you not only get valuable insights but also support a good cause.
As an author, Katja achieved international recognition with her book Learning Ecosystems (2023) finalist best international business books in London and included in the Top 100 best
international business books by the eLearning Journal in Germany. This book will therefore be available in several languages including Arabic during 2024.
2024 will also see the release of her latest book. The Learning Mindset: Combining human competencies with technology to thrive.
