ON-DEMAND WEBINAR:
The human advantage in the age of AI: Part 3 of the ‘Thriving in the age of AI’ series.
AI is automating more tasks, but technology alone can’t decide what’s worth doing—or whether the result creates value. The most important decisions still depend on human capability.
In this final session of the “Thriving in the age of AI” series, Emergn experts Aldis Erglis, Steven Angelo-Eadie, and Gillian Barnes are joined by Matti Neustadt, CEO of V4 Final, to discuss the human skills that determine whether AI improves performance or magnifies problems.
Drawing on practical lessons from the field, they explain why success depends less on tools and more on people who can frame the right problems, design for clear outcomes, and keep learning as technology evolves. Together, they discuss:
- Why judgment is essential for guiding AI. How critical thinking, reflection, and ethical reasoning keep AI aligned with real business value.
- How to build capability in the flow of work. Why one-off training decays quickly—and how continuous, applied learning helps people and AI improve together.
- How to evaluate strengths and gaps. Practical ways to evaluate technical fluency, analytical thinking, human-centered skills, and learning agility to focus development where it matters most.
Watch on demand to learn how leading organizations match human capability and AI to deliver faster learning, better decisions, and stronger results.
