The rapid development of AI represents a unique technological revolution, fueled by significant financial investments and groundbreaking innovations. Unlike past technological changes, AI's growth is outpacing our understanding and regulatory capabilities, with the potential to transform industries, economies, and human existence in unpredictable ways. In this talk, Peachy unveils the importance of preserving human nature in a tech-centric world. Peachy capped 25-years in marketing communications as Ogilvy & Mather Philippines' Chief Executive. Though the years, she assumed regional and global creative director roles, then shifted gears and became Chief Strategist, driving cross-discipline integration. As Managing Director, she oversaw the digital transformation of the Advertising discipline.
Claudine Fernandez is the exited founder of Artistic Strategies Academy (ASA), an educational organization that nurtured young writers in Singapore through the arts. She also coaches and conducts professional development workshops for teachers and parents to enhance children's and teenagers' creative capacities, critical thinking skills and mental wellness. Under her tutelage, her students have won more than 10 awards for local and international competitions, including the Royal Commonwealth Essay Competition. She is the author of the children’s activity books, Every Child’s Guide to Write Away! (Volumes 1-3), The Ultimate Writing Guide and I Am More Than Enough: A confidence-building journal for tween and teen girls. She has been teaching English and Literature for more than 14 years and holds a Master’s degree in Arts in Education from the Harvard University. Claudine has also lectured in various universities like the SUTD, NTU and SMU in Singapore.
In a world where great powers like the United States wield significant influence, the responsibility to address global challenges becomes paramount. The question arises whether this power will be directed toward the betterment of humanity—fighting climate change, preparing for future pandemics, and managing the profound impact of artificial intelligence—or if it will be used to obstruct progress and build barriers. There is a clear need for leadership that prioritizes global cooperation, innovation, and the common good. How this power is utilized will define the future of humanity and the planet. As a scholar and researcher, I am fascinated by the fundamental questions of how and why states and societies pursue power. Throughout my career, I have sought to answer these questions in relation to, first, how great powers compete and shape the international politics in the Asia-Pacific, and second, how Muslim societies in Southeast Asia mobilise and use religion in their pursuit of political power. This exciting, lifelong intellectual journey has led to 18 books thus far that I have either authored, co-authored or edited. As a public intellectual, I have had numerous opportunities to share my thoughts with international media and at various international fora. My work is also “translatable” and “policy relevant” through speaking engagements ranging from C-Suite boardrooms to the U.S. Congress.
