Navigating the Digital Tsunami:

Strategies for Making Smart Decisions in a Everchanging World

As the world is rapidly changing, with the advent of new technologies and digitalization, it is becoming increasingly important to understand the complex workings of the brain and the impact of these changes on human decision making.

The lecture will explore:

1) The intersection of neuroscience, artificial intelligence (AI) and digitalization, and their implications for decision making in our fast-paced world.

2) The role of self-leadership in navigating these changes and the importance of being brave in the face of constant change.

3) The nature of scientific theory and knowledge, how we know what we know, and the importance of questioning truths to drive innovation and evolve society.

AI and neuroscience

AI and neuroscience may seem far apart, but neural networks are computer systems modeled on the structure and function of the human brain. They are being used to develop AI systems that can learn from data and improve their performance over time. Thus, AI and the human brain have great similarities. AI is enabling machines to perform tasks that were once the exclusive domain of the brain, supporting humans to make informed decisions. These developments are revolutionizing industries and creating new opportunities, but they also prompt an ethical discussion.

We have the same brain today as 40 000 years ago and as today’s world is more complex decision making is becoming more challenging. To navigate these changes, individuals and organizations need to develop new skills and strategies for decision making. This includes understanding the role of AI and digitalization in decision making and leveraging the power of new technologies to create a successful presence in the metaverse.

Self-leadership is key!

This requires bravery. Self-leadership is the ability to take control of one’s own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to boost resilience and performance. This means being able to manage stress effectively, take calculated risks, and persevere in the face of navigating uncharted waters.

Innovation and progress depend on the ability to challenge established truths and explore new avenues of inquiry. Breakthroughs often come from unexpected sources and require a willingness to take risks, pursue unconventional ideas, and challenge existing paradigms. This requires an open and flexible mindset that is willing to question assumptions and embrace uncertainty.

It will be a challenging lecture where your brain plays the main role. Do you dare?
