TESome people don’t just talk about the future… they shift the way you see it.
At CoSN, I had the opportunity to hear from Pinar Seyhan Demirdag, a global thought leader in artificial intelligence, co-founder and CEO of Cuebric, and one of the leading voices behind generative AI education on LinkedIn Learning. Her work sits at the intersection of AI, creativity, film, and ethics—and she’s helping the world understand not just what AI can do, but what it should do.
And then something unexpected happened…
She invited me to spend the evening together after the conference.
We walked through Chicago on an architectural tour, talking about AI, creativity, humanity, and the responsibility we carry as leaders in this moment. I filled an entire page with notes—ideas, questions, possibilities.
And in the middle of all that big thinking… we made space for creativity.
We spent a little time creating jewelry together, working with energy stones—hands busy, minds open. It was such a simple moment, but also a powerful reminder: even in the most advanced conversations about AI, human creativity is still at the center of it all.
Pinar doesn’t just explain AI.
She challenges you to ask deeper questions:
👉 What does it mean to create in an AI world?
👉 How do we protect what makes us human?
👉 Are we using these tools to replace… or to elevate?
It was one of those rare conversations that stays with you.
The kind that reminds you that leadership today isn’t just about keeping up with technology…
It’s about thinking differently, leading intentionally, and staying deeply human in the process.
I walked away inspired, humbled, and honestly… a little changed.
That’s the power of being in the right rooms with the right people.
