What if we're underestimating what could go right?
As intelligence becomes cheaper, faster, and more accessible, we're entering an era unlike anything in human history. Just as electricity transformed industry, and the internet transformed communication, AI is transforming intelligence itself.
In this webinar, we'll explore the optimistic case for artificial intelligence, and examine how exponential growth in compute, automation, and agency could lead to a future of superabundance. With so many media outlets examining all the possibilities of scarcity, we owe it to ourselves to raise our attitude, and look above the horizon.
We'll discuss:
- How AI creates "superagency" by amplifying human capability
- What skills, careers, and human qualities become more valuable in a world of abundant intelligence
- Why intelligence is becoming a utility, like electricity or internet access
- The economic principle of Jevons Paradox, and why cheaper intelligence may create more opportunity, not less
- The Fixed Pie Delusion, and why technological revolutions often expand prosperity rather than redistribute it
- How data centres, compute infrastructure, and exponential scaling are shaping the future
- Why generalists may outperform specialists in the AI era
- Practical exercises to help you identify opportunities in your industry and career
This session is designed for professionals, business owners, educators, leaders, and curious thinkers who want to understand where AI may be taking us over the next decade.
The future could be great. Let's play some games, and dare to ask: how great?
