Becoming FutureHuman

BriarPrestidge

We're living through the fastest, strangest, most exhilarating shift in human history, and it's easy to feel like you're falling behind in a game you never agreed to play. Becoming FutureHuman exists to hand you the controller. Each week, futurist Briar Prestidge sits down with the scientists, founders, and visionaries building the future, not just to marvel at the technology, but to ask the more important question: what does this make possible for how we live, love, work, and heal? Because the future isn't something that happens to you. It's who you choose to become.

    #E02 The Wall Street Insider On AI, Job Loss & How To Stay Valuable | Jennifer Warren

    If AI can think, write, analyse and advise… What's left for us? For decades, intelligence has been one of humanity's greatest advantages. But as AI makes intelligence more accessible than ever, that advantage is starting to shift. It forces us to confront a deeper question: if a machine can do what I do, what makes me valuable?  In episode two of Becoming FutureHuman, Briar Prestidge sits down with Jennifer Warren, who spent over 20 years inside some of the world's biggest financial institutions, including Lehman Brothers, Barclays and Lloyds, leading strategy across AI, digital assets and blockchain - before walking away to build something of her own. This is an honest conversation about what AI is actually going to do to work, why Jennifer thinks the optimistic narrative is glossing over something important, and what it takes to stay valuable when intelligence is no longer scarce. In this episode: What happens when the biggest threat to your career isn't AI, but rather refusing to use it? What if we used AI as a thinking partner instead of another tool? What if this isn't an AI revolution, but a human one?  Will avoiding AI become the biggest career risk of the next decade?  How Jennifer went from leading AI strategy inside some of the world's largest financial institutions to asking a much more personal question: Who do I want to become next? Can AI actually help you navigate self-doubt, anxiety and life's biggest decisions?  What will make you irreplaceable when intelligence is everywhere? If everyone has access to AI, does it widen the gap between people, or help close it?  About Jennifer Warren Jennifer Warren is an AI strategist, entrepreneur and former global executive who spent more than two decades leading digital transformation across organisations including Lehman Brothers, Barclays, Lloyds Banking Group and First Gulf Bank. Today, she is the founder of Growth6 and co-founder of NOAA Regen, where she helps organisations create value through AI while exploring a question that feels increasingly important: how do we build a future where technology amplifies, rather than diminishes, our humanity? "Our job is to not be as good as the AI. Stay human on purpose." FOLLOW ► Instagram LinkedIn  TikTok Website
