Human Genius in the Age of AI
As artificial intelligence becomes part of thinking, creating and deciding, what does it mean to remain the author of a meaningful human life? This talk introduces Genialism™ and examines the relationship between human genius, self-knowledge and responsible action.
What audiences will explore
Explore genius as a human possibility expressed through authorship and contribution.
Examine how AI can support or displace our participation in forming purposes.
Consider what we need to cultivate in ourselves as artificial assistance grows.

Original Human Agency
A person can approve a decision without having shaped its purpose, its framing or its reasons. This talk examines substantive human authorship across the process of action and the difference between augmented and derivative agency.
What audiences will explore
Distinguish final approval from substantive participation in a decision.
Explore authorship through purpose, judgement, revision and responsibility.
Discuss the conditions for meaningful human–AI collaboration.
How do we recognise a direction as our own? Drawing on Genialism, this conversation explores intellectual, emotional, intuitive and bodily dimensions of self-knowledge, and how inner inquiry becomes meaningful commitment and action.
What audiences will explore
Explore four dimensions of self-understanding.
Examine the relationship between inner conviction, reflection and evidence.
Connect self-knowledge with responsibility and meaningful contribution.
