Making AI Human: Meaning & Purpose in the Age of AI

AI is arriving fast, and most people are caught between hype, fear, and fatigue. This keynote helps professionals of all backgrounds understand what today’s AI actually is, what it can and cannot do, and how to use it in ways that protect identity, purpose, and creativity.

Jordan Plawner guides audiences through an inner loop of change—mindset, skills, and everyday AI use—that turns uncertainty into agency and frees time for more meaningful work. Then he opens the outer loop: how teams and organizations are beginning to redesign workflows and roles around AI, and what that means for your career, contribution, and sense of meaning at work.

Participants will gain:

• Practical ways to nurture personal growth, meaning, and contribution as automation grows.
• How to flourish alongside AI: skills, mindset, and self‑leadership in an evolving workplace.
• Lessons from landmark AI events and large‑scale training experiences, translated into concrete next steps for their own roles.
• This session empowers people to make AI human—to use these tools without becoming tools themselves
