The Sewing Machine and The Soul: Designing for Human Agency

(AI and The New Human Experience Track)

We are entering a human evolution moment. AI is not just automating work; it is automating cognition and decision making. If profit becomes the only compass, we risk turning humanity into a commodity.

Like the sewing machine revolution in the 1830s, technology can liberate or exploit. In a world of infinite productivity, purpose becomes the only value that cannot be automated.

This talk uses a Nautical lens to explore how we protect agency, ethics, and human values so that AI extends humanity, not replaces it.

The Captain is Dead:
A Human OS for the AI Storm

(Innovation and Transformation Track)

Traditional leadership is outdated. You cannot manage exponential change with linear thinking. In a world where Agentic AI evolves faster than human biology, certainty is an illusion.

Nautical Leadership offers a fluid and adaptive model for decision making, grounded in purpose and values. This talk upgrades leadership for the AI age, shifting from Command and Control to Wayfinding.
