Guidance from female leadership in times of war and AI
Atelier Gardens *Talk with Dr. Scilla Elworthy
In this talk, Scilla Elworthy will share her experience of the power of female leadership in peace negotiations and other crucial situations. Women, she shows, tend to excel at skills that are crucial for breaking cycles of violence, such as patience, listening, and intuiting ways forward that ‘enlarge the pie’. These skills, incidentally perhaps, are also things that set human intelligence apart from artificial intelligence. In this view, the current world situation can also be seen as an opportunity to cultivate these skills and move towards realising our human potential.
