“Curiosity Agent: Staying Human in the Age of Automated Answers”

Drawing on years of putting AI inside real businesses, Josh shows where teams get burned by handing over their judgement, and where the technology genuinely makes people smarter. The thread is curiosity, the one capability no machine can replace.

“Most of the AI conversation in Australia is built on fear, and fear keeps you a passive user of tools someone else owns.”
Josh Horneman, Curiosity Agent

Delivered for: IPMA Australia
Audience: Commercial and public sector major projects leaders, PMO managers, change specialists, business analysts, project controls experts and AI practitioners

What Josh speaks about

Curiosity Agent: staying human in the age of automated answers

When answers arrive instantly, the questions we ask become the work that matters. Josh shows how curiosity keeps people in charge of their judgement and their data while the tools do more of the heavy lifting.

The changing business landscape

The ground under most organisations is moving faster than their plans. Josh looks at what is shifting in how businesses compete, price and operate, and what leaders can do about it now.

The future of work and the workforce

Roles, skills and teams are being reshaped as AI takes on more of the routine work. Josh talks about what that means for the people doing the work and for the leaders responsible for them.

The future of humanity and economic systems

The questions raised by AI reach well beyond any single business. Josh steps back to look at how work, value and opportunity may be shared out as the technology spreads.

Human first, technology second

This sits inside the stance Josh brings to all of his work: business first, technology second. Start with the people and the problem, then decide where the technology belongs.
