HumanX

It was fun speaking on a panel on AI governance at HumanX on how to ensure safety in using AI in government 💙 #Binti #HumanX #AI

What does a hamburger have to do with AI evaluation? More than you'd think. 🍔 Two systems can produce identical outputs, but users will still prefer one over the other. Most evaluation frameworks measure the burger without measuring the restaurant. Dr. Dakuo Wang discussed this with Viviana Márquez live from HumanX, highlighting why the experience matters just as much as the outcome (and what that means for how we assess AI systems).

AI isn’t the hard part right now. Leadership is. I saw that play out clearly last week at HumanX in San Francisco. 6,000 people. 78 countries. Real signal. The lens I kept returning to:  How leaders communicate through uncertainty.  How they bring people with them.  What it takes to stay human at speed. A few moments that stayed with me: Jensen Huang, CEO, NVIDIA “Let 1,000 flowers bloom. You can't be too prescriptive.” Most leaders will default to control in ambiguity. That instinct will slow you down. Dr. Fei-Fei Li, Co-Director, Stanford HAI; Founder, WorldLabs  Her north star: build technology that genuinely changes people's lives. What stood out wasn’t just the ambition. It was the clarity. Alison Moore, CEO, CHIEF   We’re over-rotating on speed, efficiency, output. Without equal investment in people, none of it holds. The leaders we need now:  Adaptable. Intentional. Discerning. Accountable. Collaborative. Leadership at Human Speed  Create sandbox space to experiment.  Create space for ‘humaning rituals’ Be deeply in person. Across all of this, one thing was clear: This moment isn’t testing technology.  It’s testing how leaders guide people through change, and narrate the journey. Jeetu Patel, President & CPO, Cisco There will be two kinds of companies: AI-dexterous, and irrelevant. And still, humans are the X factor. Stefan Weitz, CEO of HumanX  “We're not here to get more certain. We're here to get more ready.” That’s the work. Bonus: A robot named Lucy took my picture at City Hall.  Turns out even robots are getting better at reading the room.  The rest of leading? Still on us. #HumanX2026 #ExecutivePresence #Leadership #AITransformation

"We have to change how we think, how we approach challenges fundamentally." - Edo Segal, CTPO, Napster At HumanX, Edo pushed back on the idea that AI is a replacement story. When teams adopt the right mindset, the same people become significantly more capable, and the whole organization benefits from it.

I've saved my HumanX recap post to give one extra highlight to the awesome European voices who took to the stage in San Francisco to ensure that European AI was being discussed on a global stage. One thing was certain for me leaving HX that every AI company in Europe should know. The US market is for sure looking at Europe as a opportunity area. We are the largest consumers of AI by population, AI literacy and AI enthusiasm. But we're relying heavily on US tech (and $) to power our market growth. This is changing. But also so is the appetite for US companies to capitalise on European AI growth. This is all happening right now..! So, Europe. Lets make sure that you use the opportunity in HumanX coming to Amsterdam this September to showcase the best of European AI and its adoption into business. See you in Amsterdam 22nd-24th Sept!

“𝗗𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗔𝗜 𝘂𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲—𝗺𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗳𝘂𝗹.” — Sarah Franklin, CEO of Lattice That one line captures the essence of HumanX 2026. Across the panels, demos, and conversations Barr Even and I had that week, three themes stood out: 1. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘃𝘀. 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗼𝘅: Despite rapid AI adoption, most companies haven’t redesigned a single workflow—and over half of all CEOs say they’re getting nothing from their AI investments. Organizations are adding AI to systems it was never designed for and expecting different outcomes. 2. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 “𝗔𝗜 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗷𝗼𝗯𝘀”: Subsequently, the companies that are rearchitecting their businesses rather than merely adopting AI understand that People are still mission-critical. Data from Ramp shows that these companies are hiring more people, not fewer. 3. 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗜𝗦 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁: In both HR and fintech, the companies winning are the ones treating transparency, understandability, and customer benefit as core product features—not afterthoughts. I left the conference with more questions than answers, but also more clarity than confusion. And what's clear is this: the ultimate impact AI has on our society will depend on how active we all are in shaping its evolution. Thank you to Andrew Blum, the HumanX team, and all the speakers for an insightful week! #Fintech #FutureofWork #HRtech #HumanX2026

AI is reshaping the music industry and the rules are still being written. At HumanX event, Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason jr joined Ghazi (EMPIRE), in conversation with Claire Duffy, to discuss AI, creativity, and what comes next. The conversation explored Grammy eligibility in the age of AI, protecting creators’ rights and IP, and how legislation and licensing will shape the future of music.
