This final lecture in this term’s Zetountes series took the form of a “conversation” with Mr Douglas Hamandishe, former Deputy Mayor and author of “The AI Leverage: Building Purpose, Resilience and Success”.
Introducing himself as a “Creative Futurist”, Mr Hamandishe challenged our academic scholars to think about the importance of identity and values in a tech-driven world. Blending personal storytelling with practical strategies like the revolutionary 360 Character Rule and the writing of a personal mantra, our speaker encouraged listeners to think differently about technology and review established ideas.
As one of our senior scholars noted in her vote of thanks, this was an empowering and optimistic talk, highlighting the importance of harnessing technology, leveraging it without just surviving the future. At its heart, our scholars were drawn to the realisation that often what you learn is more important than what you know.
