More About The Speakers

In the “Thrills” side of our Halloween series, host Carolyn Ford and futurist Joseph Bradley shift from fear to possibility, exploring how AI can amplify human potential and unlock joy at scale.

Bradley introduces the “happiness paradigm,” the idea that AI’s true value isn’t just about productivity, but about helping people find more meaning, connection, and time for what matters most. From digital “twins” that make leaders more effective, to AI tools that give disabled creators new ways to express themselves, to cognitive cities designed around citizens rather than assets, this is AI as an amplifier of identity and humanity.

Instead of focusing on what we might lose, Bradley shows how leaders and organizations can build trust, align AI with values, and use it to create more satisfying workplaces, communities, and lives. If the “Chills” episode raised the hard questions, this one paints the vision of what’s possible when we get it right.
