AI is Here… But Carmen Murray Says Humans Are Still the Magic!

Loading player...
The future is arriving fast. Faster than most of us can properly process. One minute you’re scrolling memes and making coffee, the next minute AI is writing essays, building businesses, changing industries and making people wonder what’s going to happen to the human part of the story.

That’s why this week’s episode of Good Things with Brent Lindeque feels so important. I sat down with Carmen Murray and had a conversation about the future. And AI. And business. And women. And neurology.

Carmen is a "cultural translator and creative provocateur", building the bridge between business, humanity and the future. She equips organisations to turn uncertainty into opportunity, and in a world where AI is changing everything, her message is clear: the goal isn’t to compete with technology… it’s to collaborate with it. She believes our human potential is reached when we strengthen the qualities that make us irreplaceable... critical thinking, emotional sovereignty, creativity and foresight.

In other words, becoming more human, not more robotic.

And because it’s me… the conversation also goes to fun places. Ja, we chatted about numerology. Which of course means 11 makes an appearance.

But there’s another message in this episode that really matters: the future doesn’t only need better technology, it needs better leadership, and that means more women in leadership. Carmen explains how organisations that embrace what women bring to leadership. Collaboration, adaptability and systems thinkin don’t just build better businesses; they build stronger, more sustainable ones. She calls it the Sprinkler Effect, where women’s leadership creates ripples of innovation and cultural transformation that extend far beyond the boardroom.

This episode is hopeful, practical, energising, and feels like a deep breath. If you’ve been feeling uncertain about where the world is heading (even though it's only the start of the year), this conversation might help you reframe it all.

It might remind you that AI doesn’t erase the human story.

It amplifies it… if we choose to show up fully.
