As someone who’s spent years leading transformative projects in some of the world’s largest organizations, I know the challenges executives face when trying to harness the full power of emerging technology. 

I didn't start HumanX to merely sell tickets to a conference—I came to redefine what’s possible for leaders, creators, and strategists navigating the AI frontier. HumanX was born from my experiences as an entrepreneur, technologist, and executive, and it’s grounded in deep, evidence-backed insights from our groundbreaking research partnership with HarrisX. 

Through extensive conversations with industry leaders and HarrisX’s rigorous market analysis, we uncovered the essential themes that executives need to master today—not just to survive, but to thrive. These aren’t buzzwords or passing trends; they’re a blueprint for making real impact in an era of rapid, often unpredictable change. Each theme is crafted to address the very real pressures and opportunities that leaders are facing in 2024 and 2025, from the challenge of staying competitive against lightning-fast disruptors to the need for disciplined, high-impact AI investments.

That’s why we built HumanX—to bring together the sharpest minds and most actionable insights, helping you cut through the noise and make decisions that lead to measurable results.

As you engage with these themes, I invite you to think beyond today’s solutions. Together, let’s envision the future we’re building and set a course that makes AI not just a technology, but a true driver of lasting impact. This is HumanX. Welcome to the future of leadership in the AI era.

5. Let’s Not Get Sued or Do Something Stupid, mmmmmk?

In the age of generative AI, responsible use isn’t just good ethics—it’s good business.

With the power of AI comes responsibility. Generative AI and other advanced technologies are raising complex issues around bias, transparency, and accountability, and regulators are watching closely. Companies adopting AI without a rigorous approach to governance, policy, and ethics are playing with fire.

The risks aren’t hypothetical. In 2021, Amazon faced backlash for biased hiring algorithms, resulting in PR damage and the scrapping of an entire project. Similar stories are emerging across industries, as AI adoption outpaces the establishment of clear ethical and regulatory guidelines.

Let’s Not Get Sued or Do Something Stupid urges executives to think hard about AI governance and risk management.

• Over 79% of executives say they are concerned about the unintended consequences of their AI systems (PwC). Are you prepared to manage these risks?
• With proposed regulations like the EU AI Act, non-compliance could mean fines up to 6% of global revenue. Is your organization set up to meet these emerging standards?

2024 will separate the leaders who understand AI risk from those who are simply experimenting. Are you prepared to adopt AI responsibly, or are you risking future lawsuits and reputational damage?
