The Next RenAIssanceā€‹
AI is the most powerful tool we’ve ever built for expanding human potential, but that outcome isn’t guaranteed. Zack Kass, Global AI Advisor and Former Head of Go-To-Market at OpenAI, draws on 15+ years at the frontier of AI to show how technology expands what’s possible, while human choice decides where it leads. Skip the utopia-or-dystopia debate. This is about the real choices facing you right now. You will leave with practical frameworks, renewed optimism, and a reason to build.
