The Humanity Code: Teaching AI What Matters Most with Heidi Lorenzen

Episode notes

What if the most important question leaders ask about AI isn’t “How fast can we use it?” but “What future are we training it to build?” On this episode of Humanity at Scale , host Bruce Temkin sits down with Heidi Lorenzen , Chief Content Officer at e.Republic and founder and executive producer of The Humanity Code , a documentary and global impact campaign focused on aligning AI with humanity’s highest values. With a career spanning Polycom, Autonomy, BusinessWeek, and years helping executives understand exponential technology at Singularity University, Heidi has seen firsthand how technology scales faster than leadership, governance, and reflection. She argues that AI doesn’t create our values, it amplifies them and leaders are already shaping AI far more than they realize through their daily choices, incentives, and behaviors. This is not a conversation about hype or fear. It’s about stewardship, responsibility, and agency during a pivotal moment in history and how leaders can ensure AI helps us build the kind of society we actually want.
