#111 Preserving Human Creativity in the AI Age with Fatima Roumate

As AI takes over more repetitive tasks, what unique human abilities remain irreplaceable at work?

In this episode, #111 of Meaningful Work, Meaningful Life podcast, we explore how leaders can nurture human skills, creativity, and meaning in an increasingly tech-driven workplace.

My guest, Fatima Roumate, is a professor at the University Mohammed V in Morocco. Her research focuses on the international relations and legal implications of AI.

Inspired by her father's stories of fighting colonialism as a child, Fatima decided to study international relations to understand global issues. She then realized how technology is a crucial connecting point between different fields and focused her research on international relations and technology.

 

Key Highlights:

• Fatima wants to contribute to creating a better future for all. Her focus is on how AI impacts international relations, international law, and sustainable development.
• We discuss her background in teaching, research on AI, and dedication to women's empowerment. She highlights how AI influences higher education as both a tool and potential competitor.
• She emphasizes considering the international implications of AI across fields like international relations, law, and sustainable development.
• We discuss the workplace transformation due to AI and the need for an integrated approach across philosophy, psychology etc. to understand human-AI relations, not just technologically.
• She recommends organizations invest in human skills and maintain human control of AI to balance profits and human rights. A human-centered approach and ethics in AI can help manage the industry 4.0 to 5.0 transition.

 

This thoughtful conversation provides guidance on empowering human values and principles in an increasingly tech-driven workplace.
