Increasingly the idea of exploring the blurred line between programmed and human emotions is coming to light. My more business and techy minded folks will describe this as the intersection of emotional intelligence (EI) and artificial intelligence (AI). I am delighted to share this vlog on my recent TED Talk focused on this topic.
It is my intention that at the end of reading, watching or listening to it, you will be open to exploring an idea. An idea that may or may not be new to you.
It goes like this…Combining AI and Emotional Intelligence is essential for Life.
TED Talk Summary
Technology is evolving faster than ever before. AI is here to stay. It’s not the problem. It’s an opportunity for us to develop our skills and abilities even further or at a faster rate – our Emotional or Human Intelligence. EI must complement AI for in order for us to realise AI’s true potential.
This talk takes us on a reality and future of work perspective journey. What are the implications for tapping into our natural wisdom to make real AI impact?

Final Words and Actionable Advice
If we, as humans are intelligent and wise enough to develop technologies that can learn and develop on their own, we are all certainly capable of evolving and developing our human wisdom further.
AI is here to stay. It is not the problem. To advance better, can we be part of an exciting, harmonious, new world as more evolved Emotionally Intelligent humans living with AI systems?
Or, will we be left behind?
EVERY ONE has the ability to do this.
