Embracing Humanity in the Age of AI: Insights from ReadyAI’s CEO

By: ReadyAI

At the recent Global AI Summit, Dr. Roozbeh Aliabadi, CEO and Co-Founder of ReadyAI, shared his inspiring perspective on how artificial intelligence is shaping the future of education. But his message wasn’t just about technology — it was about what makes us uniquely human. In a world increasingly driven by AI, Dr. Aliabadi emphasized the importance of love, empathy, and human connection in education, reminding us that these qualities will continue to set us apart from machines.

What Makes Us Human in the Age of AI?

One of the key themes of Dr. Aliabadi’s talks was our human capacity for love — something that no machine, no matter how advanced, can replicate. While AI can process data, perform complex tasks, and even simulate human behaviors, it lacks the emotional depth that defines the human experience. “Love for what we do, love for one another, love for learning,” he stated, underscoring the idea that our ability to care is irreplaceable.

Dr. Aliabadi urged educators and students alike to focus on what makes us human in this AI-driven world. His message was clear: AI may bring incredible advancements, but it’s the love we bring to our work, our collaborations, and our learning that will ultimately make a difference.

Love in Learning and AI Development

Beyond just technical knowledge, Roozbeh highlighted the importance of having a moral compass in the development of AI. Technology should be developed thoughtfully, with purpose, and guided by ethical principles.

“If we practice love in our work, we won’t just be creating new technologies — we’ll be doing it with purpose,”

he said, advocating for a more mindful approach to AI.

By integrating love and compassion into education, students can be inspired to not just learn but also to unlearn and relearn as the world of technology continues to evolve. Roozbeh’s focus was not simply on how AI helps or hinders learning, but on how it can enhance the qualities that make education meaningful.

The Rapid Pace of AI and Education

A challenge educators face globally is keeping up with the pace of AI’s rapid development. Dr. Aliabadi discussed how even teacher training programs at top institutions like MIT and Carnegie Mellon often find that by the time new AI curriculum is implemented in classrooms, the technology has already moved on. This ever-quickening pace makes it difficult to ensure educational content remains up to date.

His solution? Focus on the timeless human elements of education. While technology may change, the relationships between teachers and students will always be the foundation of learning.

“The bond between teacher and student will always matter more than the latest tech trend,”

he explained, encouraging educators to emphasize connection and mentorship, no matter what tools are at their disposal.

Redefining Creativity in the AI Era

Another critical point Dr. Aliabadi raised was about redefining creativity in the age of AI. As AI becomes capable of generating art, text, and even music, the question of what counts as creativity is becoming more complex. Rather than resisting these changes, Roozbeh urged educators to embrace them, guiding students to explore new tools and technologies while maintaining their own creative spark.

Instead of seeing AI as a threat to creativity, it can be used as an opportunity to foster new forms of creative expression and innovation. Teachers, according to Roozbeh, can work with students to navigate these uncharted waters and explore the possibilities AI presents for creative growth.

The Big Takeaway: Focus on Humanity

In his talks, Dr. Aliabadi emphasized that the future of education is not just about mastering AI or the latest technological tools — it’s about staying connected to what makes us human. The ability to inspire, to mentor, and to form lasting relationships with students is what will keep education meaningful, no matter how advanced our technology becomes.

For educators, students, and AI leaders around the world, the message was clear: Embrace AI, but always keep the human connection at the heart of learning. As technology continues to evolve, it’s our love for learning, for one another, and for what we do that will shape the future.

Final Thoughts

ReadyAI’s participation in the Global AI Summit served as a reminder that, while AI may transform the landscape of education, it’s the heart and humanity behind those innovations that truly matter. As we move forward in this rapidly changing world, our advice at ReadyAI to educators, students, and AI leaders is simple but powerful: Keep love and purpose at the center of all we do, and the future will be brighter for it.
