Maintaining the Human Element of Artificial Intelligence | James Bullard | TEDxROC Nijmegen

Leveraging right-brain thinking and creative problem-solving, he empowers individuals and organizations to reach new heights, exceed goals, set new ones. With a magnetic stage presence, James blends humor, vulnerability, and actionable insights to spark change. A published author, his work resonates with readers seeking clarity, while Radical Joy amplifies voices that ignite curiosity and hope. A champion of bold living, James uses storytelling to cultivate joy and guide others toward their most authentic selves.
