The New Normal (TNN): The Future of...AGE & AI! w/ Helen Chapman (The Age AI expert)

Helen Chapman joins TNN to tackle a question most AI strategy conversations avoid: how does this technology reshape us at different stages of life, and what does that mean for business and society?

Through her work on Age&AI, Helen examines how generative systems, search shifts and agentic tools are landing very differently with children, teenagers, working adults and older generations. Adoption patterns, trust levels, cognitive offloading, loneliness, education, work readiness and digital exclusion are diverging fast. Companies designing products for “users” are in fact shaping childhood development, mid-career resilience and ageing itself.

At TNN, Helen will unpack what AI is doing to attention, identity and decision-making across the lifespan, and why organisations that ignore these age-based dynamics risk misbuilding products, misjudging markets and misreading public reaction. Business leaders shaping workforce and product strategy, founders building for consumers, policymakers influencing education and care, parents navigating AI in schools and homes, and adults supporting ageing parents all face different exposure points to the same systems and should be in the room.

!IMPORTANT!

Flakiness is not tolerated at TNN. Late is fine. No-shows are not. Speakers get up early. Seats are limited. Two flakes and you are banned permanently. Reliability is the minimum standard here. If you say you'll come and don't show up that's not ok. Your name and company name will be sent to the speaker and listed on TBD+ so people know exactly who they can rely on. Why? Brilliant speakers get up early to do this, plus you stopped someone else from coming, and generally speaking, who doesn't want to surround themselves with do-ers right now? Sound harsh? It's meant to.
