AI and the Art of Being Human

This event took place on December 16th at 8am PST and featured Dr. Andrew Maynard, Professor of Advanced Technology Transitions at Arizona State University and author of AI and the Art of Being Human.

In the conversation, Dr. Maynard explored how AI is redefining what it means to be human—how we think, create, work, and relate to one another. Drawing from his recent book, he examined the emerging tensions and opportunities at the intersection of human identity, technological acceleration, and the future of meaningful work.

The session was moderated by micro1 Chief Economist, Mark Esposito, and connected these themes to the shared mission of micro1 and Dr. Maynard’s work: building an AI-powered economy that enhances human capability.
