#111 Preserving Human Creativity in the AI Age with Fatima Roumate

As AI takes over more repetitive tasks, what unique human abilities remain irreplaceable at work? In this episode, #111 of Meaningful Work, Meaningful Life podcast, we explore how leaders can nurture human skills, creativity, and meaning in an increasingly tech-driven workplace. My guest, Fatima Roumate, is a professor at the University Mohammed V in Morocco. Her research focuses on the international relations and legal implications of AI. Inspired by her father's stories of fighting colonialism as a child, Fatima decided to study international relations to understand global issues. She then realized how technology is a crucial connecting point between different fields and focused her research on international relations and technology.   Key Highlights: Fatima wants to contribute to creating a better future for all. Her focus is on how AI impacts international relations, international law, and sustainable development. We discuss her background in teaching, research on AI, and dedication to women's empowerment. She highlights how AI influences higher education as both a tool and potential competitor. She emphasizes considering the international implications of AI across fields like international relations, law, and sustainable development. We discuss the workplace transformation due to AI and the need for an integrated approach across philosophy, psychology etc. to understand human-AI relations, not just technologically. She recommends organizations invest in human skills and maintain human control of AI to balance profits and human rights. A human-centered approach and ethics in AI can help manage the industry 4.0 to 5.0 transition.   This thoughtful conversation provides guidance on empowering human values and principles in an increasingly tech-driven workplace.   More info about the podcast Website: https://www.francinebeleyi.com/podcast/ Watch on Youtube https://bit.ly/3LKwUT1  Connect with Fatima Roumate LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/fatima-roumate-17193920/ Publications https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Fatima-Roumate  Connect with Francine Beleyi, the host.
