“Welcome to today’s episode. The topic is The Human Advantage in the Age of AI: Emotional, Ethical, and Strategic Intelligence Beyond Automation. We’re exploring how people — not just machines — create value through empathy, judgement, ethics and the strategy to use AI well.
I’m Dr Elena Carruba: academic professional-development manager at a UK University, CEO of Change Academy, author and TEDx organising executive. Today I’ll be referencing work I’ve developed in adult learning, leadership, change practice and videos on my YouTube channel that explore human-centred change in tech contexts.

Now meet Rahul Desai. Rahul built product strategy at Uber and Google clients in consulting, led operations at fast-growth Silicon Valley startups backed by Y Combinator and prominent investors, founded and scaled an education startup, ran AI training for Fortune 500s, and now leads AI America while advising on Operations & AI at Cintrifuse Capital. I’m delighted to welcome you Rahul.”
