	Description:		This episode is the replay of my biggest talk to 10,000+ AI founders and engineers at /function1 Dubai. I spoke about Emotional Intelligence (EI) at an AI conference, and they listened. I broke EI down in a way technical audiences understand: patterns → systems → data → small improvements. Because no matter how advanced AI becomes, the most complex system I’ll ever work with is a human. In this conversation, I share how EI shapes leadership, communication, and opportunities — and I also learned so much from my fellow panelists. Mohammed Benzakour of LinkedIn: 70% of our job skills will change by 2030. AI replaces tasks. Humans win through adaptability + communication. Prof. Abhilasha Singh Dean of American University in the Emirates: “The illiterate of the 21st century are those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.” Hemant Pandey CEO of Hustling Engineer and ex-Meta/Tesla/Salesforce): Your real edge? Skill Velocity: how fast you can learn the next thing. Ahmed Metwoali (Sphinque): Engineering is a team sport. Communicate → ship fast → become your team’s AI go-to. Adil-Ul Islam of Microsoft reminded us AI should augment, but not replace human judgment. Me (EI): If you want funding, collaboration, or opportunity, learn to read people as well as you read data. In a world moving at the speed of algorithms, staying human is your unfair advantage.
