What’s Light Got to Do With It? Possibly Everything for AI

Soulful tech entrepreneur Payam Safa reveals how understanding ourselves as beings of light could be the key to ensuring AI serves humanity's highest potential. As the founder of Light DAO, a global Web3 community of over 2,000 conscious leaders, Safa shares his philosophy that every human experience manifests light's properties - from the way we build trust to how we create technology. He offers a unique perspective on using blockchain and decentralized organizations to scale trust and positive values in AI development. He also explains how his "purpose meets passion meets profit" framework has led to groundbreaking ventures in cancer treatment and AI-powered workforce development. In an era where fear often dominates the AI narrative, Safa presents an alternative vision where leadership and value alignment can help create regenerative systems that benefit all stakeholders. Through personal practices like daily affirmations and deep self-knowledge, he illustrates how each of us can "be the prompt" that guides AI toward enhancing rather than diminishing human potential.
