First Movers: Courageous Leadership for a Human Future in the AI Era with Yasmin London
As organisations race to adopt AI, most conversations focus on productivity,
efficiency and innovation. But what if the most important question isn’t what
AI can do but what it’s doing to us?
In this timely and thought-provoking conversation, @Yasmin
London explores the human side of AI
transformation: the critical capabilities, relationships and workplace
cultures that risk being overlooked as organisations embrace increasingly
powerful technologies. Drawing on her unique background as a former NSW police
officer, cyber safety entrepreneur, behavioural expert and leadership
advocate, Yasmin brings a distinctly human lens to one of the defining issues
of our time.
Together, we examine how rapid AI adoption is reshaping critical thinking,
judgement, emotional intelligence and human connection—and why leaders must
look beyond commercial outcomes to consider the broader human impact of the
decisions they make today. This is not a conversation about resisting
technology; it’s about ensuring technology serves human thriving, rather than
the other way around.
Ideal for executives, people leaders, HR professionals, learning and
development practitioners, business owners and educators, this discussion
provides practical frameworks for navigating AI with greater intentionality,
integrity and foresight.
At Cuppa, we believe meaningful conversations help shape a better future.
Inspired by Yasmin’s forthcoming book First Movers: Courageous Leadership for
a Human Future in the AI Era , this episode invites leaders to think beyond
what is possible and focus on what is responsible, sustainable and deeply
human.
