Dr. Ewelina Kurtys - Building the Brain That Powers Tomorrow's AI

Most conversations about AI focus on what machines can do faster than humans. Fewer conversations ask the more uncomfortable question: what actually makes human intelligence… human?On June 18th, my guest on Inspiring Conversations will be neuroscientist and deep-tech strategist Dr. Ewelina Kurtys, whose work sits at the intersection of neuroscience, AI, biological computing, and emerging technologies.Ewelina’s journey began in brain imaging and neuroscience before moving into medical imaging, AI, commercialization, and frontier technologies. Today, she works across areas including AI agents, neuromorphic systems, organoid intelligence, and bio-inspired computing, helping bridge the gap between complex research and real-world adoption through her work with FinalSpark.Our conversation is titled: “What Happens When Computers Start Thinking More Like Humans?”Because beneath all the headlines about AI, automation, and productivity sits a much bigger question. If we start building systems inspired by the human brain itself, what does that mean for how we understand intelligence, decision-making, creativity, and even work?And perhaps more importantly: Are we racing to recreate human intelligence artificially while still struggling to understand the humans already inside our organisations?This conversation will explore neuroscience, AI, biological computing, the future of work, and the increasingly blurry line between technology and humanity.#InspiringConversations #ArtificialIntelligence #Neuroscience #FutureOfWork #Leadership #Innovation #HumanCenteredLeadership #Technology #AI #WorkplaceCulture #WetwareComputing #OrganoidIntelligence #HappinessAtWork #podmatch
