EQ in the Age of AI

On the 14th November, 2025, Dr Martyn Newman gave a thought-provoking TED-style talk on a topic that is shaping the future of both technology and human potential: "EQ in the Age of AI: What Smart People Know That Machines Never Will.

In today’s rapidly evolving workplace, Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers powerful solutions but also presents critical challenges. While AI can simulate decision-making, process vast amounts of data, and even mimic human behaviour, there are certain aspects of intelligence that machines cannot replicate. The key to future-proofing your career and organisation lies in blending AI with Emotional Intelligence (EQ). Together, they create a workplace where technology and human insight complement each other.
