AI for people and profit – Beyond productivity and efficiency | Anna Häggblom | TEDxVaasa
What if AI wasn’t just about speed, automation, or cutting costs, but about creating space for people to thrive? In this forward-thinking talk, Anna Häggblom challenges the traditional narratives around artificial intelligence in business. She invites us to rethink AI not as a tool for squeezing out more productivity, but as a powerful force for unlocking creativity, improving well-being, and building businesses that grow sustainably. It's time to shift the conversation from efficiency to impact, from automation to augmentation. This talk was given at TEDxVaasa under the theme Unseen Forces. Anna Häggblom is an AI strategist, entrepreneur, and speaker who helps organizations adopt AI in ways that benefit both people and profits. With a background in finance and statistics, she founded AveoAI to guide companies through human-centered, sustainable AI integration. A passionate advocate for cognitive well-being and the four-day workweek, Anna is on a mission to prove that when people have time to think, innovation follows. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
