## Popular Talks by Dave Coplin
### The Rise of the Humans: Learning to thrive in a generative AI world
In the past two years, organisations have likely learned more about the potential of technology in both their personal and professional lives than many of them have learned in the last ten years. At the heart of the change for most people lies not just a new affinity with technology, but a desire to both live and work in a way that is fundamentally different to that which we have experienced before. We now stand at the precipice of yet another transformative era in our relationship with technology. This upcoming shift, driven by the increasing adoption of generative artificial intelligence, promises to be even more disruptive to society and our economy as it automates many of our current tasks. Over the next decade, no role, organization, or individual will remain untouched by this change. As with any big change, there will be winners and losers, the difference between the two will be those that seek efficiency, automating what is done today and those that seek to become more effective, reinventing what they do and how they do it, in order to deliver increasing value to their customers and their employees. In this session we will explore how you can help your organisation navigate an emerging world where dispersed employees, empowered with transformational tools such as generative artificial intelligence and other digital technologies will drive change across all aspects of their business in both the short and long-term. We’ll look at the problems we will face, and the mistakes and assumptions we might make before ultimately focusing on how best you can help your organisation to harness the opportunity provided to deliver increasing value to both your customers and employees.
