Augmented IQ: Scaling Human + AI Potential
Summary
Too many leaders today use AI to automate yesterday. Some use AI to do their thinking. But if we don't think critically and creatively, if we don’t define how we compete more effectively with AI, then we leave it to AI slop and cognitive Darwinism to shape our future. This is a moment for mastering AIQ: the Augmented Intelligence Quotient. The best leaders master IQ, EQ, and SQ. AIQ is the practice of becoming exponentially smarter with AI, to augment our thinking and output to achieve what wasn’t possible before AI. In this special session, Brian Solis, Futurist, author, Head of Global Innovation at ServiceNow will share a mindshift map to move from efficiency to augmented possibility, to automate what should be automated, and augment what only humans can imagine to reshape the future.
