We’ve all seen the panic-inducing headlines about AI taking away jobs. But what if we reframed automation as an opportunity to unlock new potentials in the workforce? What if emerging technologies, instead of displacing humans, elevated them into more creative and meaningful roles?

Dr. Vivienne Ming, credited as one of the most forward-thinking minds at the nexus of AI and society, champions this alternate vision. With accolades like sitting on boards of numerous companies and nonprofits including StartOut, The Palm Center, Cornerstone Capital, Platypus Institute, Shiftgig, Zoic Capital, and HUMM. Dr. Ming also speaks frequently on her AI-driven research into inclusion and gender in business and was named to the World Economic Forum’s Young Global Leaders council. She boasts immense credibility in the artificial intelligence space stemming from her multifaceted career as a neuroscientist, entrepreneur and professor.

Across her various ventures, Ming has spearheaded unprecedented AI achievements—from predicting medical conditions through natural language models to analyzing kids’ drawings for learning disorder clues. Her unconventional philosophies expand conceptions of how AI can synergize with human intellect to solve multifaceted problems.

In this guide, we’ll explore Ming’s pragmatic tactics on moving beyond an “either/or” view of human vs. AI capabilities in the workplace.
