Humans vs AI: Lessons from the Bicentennial Man
Andreea Pârvu - VP Growth and Development @ Endava
Europa room
12th November, 11:30-12:00
In a world racing toward automation and digital intelligence, one timeless question remains: What does it truly mean to be human?
This keynote draws inspiration from Bicentennial Man, the story of a robot who spends two centuries striving to become human — not by processing power, but through curiosity, empathy, and moral growth. Using this cinematic journey as a mirror, we’ll explore the evolving relationship between humans and artificial intelligence across technology, business, and leadership.
From engineers shaping autonomous systems to business leaders redefining culture, we stand at the same crossroads as Andrew, the Bicentennial Man: balancing precision vs purpose, productivity vs creativity, process vs people.
Through powerful storytelling, real-world examples, and a framework built around the 3Es —
- Ethics: Humans must guide AI with intention and accountability.
- Embrace: New literacies like critical thinking and data reasoning are the bridge between man and machine.
- Empower: Collaboration, not competition, defines the next generation of innovation.
