About this Event
As AI advances at breathtaking speed, new research is revealing a provocative downside to our growing dependence on it: Microsoft and Carnegie Mellon researchers found greater reliance on AI was associated with less critical-thinking effort, while a peer-reviewed study in The Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology found that experienced doctors’ ability to detect precancerous growths without AI declined by 20% after several months of regular use of AI assistance.
In short: we’re de-skilling and creating cognitive debt with every project on our Chat Bot.
As we race to develop artificial intelligence, the question becomes urgent: How do we protect and expand our own?
Join five-time bestselling author Sara Connell, featured on Oprah, The New York Times, Good Morning America, Forbes, and TEDx, and co-host Mo Faul, former COO, executive coach, and author of The Soul Code, for a provocative evening at Washington, D.C.’s historic National Press Club
We’ll be exploring human flourishing in the age of AI, and what it will take from leaders, the media, parents, and artists to create a future we want to see.
Special guests include Angela Ford, known as the CIA’s top psychic spy, and Julie Wright Halbert, founder of Living and Dying Awake.
Together, we’ll explore consciousness beyond the five-sensory world, intuition, extraordinary human potential, and what it means to develop our human and divine intelligence while the world races to develop artificial intelligence.
At this event, you’ll learn practical, neuroscience-informed techniques designed to help you access original thought, expand creativity, and become more available for the ideas and insights that can upskill your work and your life, including a creative practice grounded in Stanford research that increases creative thinking and innovative output by 60%.
This is a one-of-a-kind experience at the National Press Club and will not be offered anywhere else on The Download book tour.
General admission tickets are available to the public, with a limited VIP experience that includes signed first editions of The Download: Train Your Brain, Unlock Your Genius, Create Miracles and The Soul Code, plus an exclusive virtual workshop with Sara Connell and Mo Faul following the event.
