For millennia, humans survived as a middle-rate species with few dominant traits. But roughly 200,000 years ago, something magical happened. A cognitive leap gave us a remarkable vocal range that unlocked distinct vowels, consonants, syllables, and syntax. This meant we could do something incredibly unique: tell stories. In turn, we became ultra-social learning machines that rose to rule the earth.
Today, we’re experiencing yet another neural leap with the rise of neural networks and Large Language Models (LLMs), spurring AI gurus to declare the death of the human writer and storyteller.
They couldn’t be more wrong.
In this keynote talk, Joe Lazer — marketing leader, future-of-work researcher, and author of The Storytelling Edge — reveals why storytelling skills will compound in value in the age of AI as we move from a Knowledge Economy to a new Storytelling Economy.

- Why the typical rhetoric around AI and creativity is all wrong
