We may be standing at perhaps the most fragile threshold in the history of technology. Artificial intelligence, automation, and algorithms are transforming not only the way we work, but also our decision-making processes, our understanding of creativity, and even our definition of “being human.” In this new era, the real question is: Will high technology replace humanity, or will it expand human capacity?

In the “High Tech, High Touch” speech, Evrim Kuran questions the competitive narrative that positions artificial intelligence as a replacement for humans. She argues that technology should be positioned alongside humans, working together with human intuition, ethical reasoning, and capacity to create meaning. She emphasizes that what will determine the future of organizations is not only digital competence, but also high human capacity (high touch). This talk presents a future perspective that does not center technology, but instead repositions technology by placing humans at the center.
