<p>This book explores the relationship of natural and artificial intelligence in our rapidly evolving world. It does so anchored in an innovative multidisciplinary framework and the premise that society is a composition of multiple dimensions, with individuals (<em>micro</em>), communities (<em>meso</em>), countries (<em>macro</em>) and planet (<em>meta</em>) in the collective sphere, and individuals themselves as multidimensional beings (aspirations, emotions, thoughts, sensations). This perspective is applied to analyze the implications of our transition into a phase where online and offline realms are increasingly intertwined. Special attention is given to the influence of all pervasive technology on our perception of the self and society. The central message is that we must learn to harness Agency amid AI, which entails double literacy – of artificial and natural intelligence.</p>

<p>“Cornelia’s ‘Human Leadership for Humane Technology' masterfully illustrates what conscious tech leadership is. It’s an essential read for anyone committed to shaping a sustainable future, ensuring technology enhances, rather than detracts from, our humanity.” (Hamilton Mann, Group Vice President “Digital Marketing and Digital Transformation” at Thales, Thinkers50 Radar 2024, Pioneer of ‘Digital for Good’)<br>

“Cornelia C. Walther’s reflection goes to the heart of the most fundamental question of our times, concerning the nature of our interaction with technology. Chasing our multiple “selves”, in the digital and physical world, we do not spend enough time and attention trying to understand how technology affects us, for better or for worse. Cornelia C. Walther draws attention to the fact that we are not, and should not succumb to the inevitable but think more highly of ourselves and our agency in the world. We may be under pressure, but we retain the right to make societal choices. Technology does not have an agenda of its own, at least at present, which puts the human in the position of influence and responsibility. This is a powerful and thought-provoking book.” (Pawel Swieboda, Founder and Director, NeuroCentury, Co-Founder, Brain Capital Alliance. Practice Lead Neurotechnology, The International Center for Future Generations (ICFG). Senior Visiting Fellow, European Policy Centre. Former director Human Brain Capital Project)<br>
