The Power of Human Psychology in the AI Era
As artificial intelligence becomes more powerful, the temptation is to believe that better data and smarter systems will solve the leadership challenge. They will not.
Technology can accelerate analysis and automate decisions, but it does not replace the human forces that drive trust, resistance, culture, fear, motivation and belief.
In this keynote, Dr Kate explores why human psychology may be becoming more important, not less, in the age of AI. She examines how leaders must understand behaviour, perception and emotional response if they want to guide organisations through uncertainty and transformation.
