Program Summary:
AI is accelerating everything—but it’s also creating disconnection. In this energizing keynote, Ari Gunzburg challenges audiences to lead with more humanity, not less. Drawing on daily hands-on use of AI tools—and lessons learned from nature and adversity—Ari shows how people-first leadership is the antidote to overwhelm and disengagement.
Through outdoor metaphors, vivid storytelling, and real-world AI examples, Ari invites your team to re-center on the values that matter most: connection, purpose, trust. This isn’t a keynote about resisting AI. It’s about rising above it, by remembering what makes us human.
