We find ourselves at the edge of an unfolding world. This is the Intelligent Age.
Here, life is being reshaped by the intricate interplay of humans, machines, ecosystems, and evolving intelligences. This is no ordinary era of innovation. It is a time of deep redefinition, where the maps are not yet drawn, and the questions matter more than the answers.
On October 1st 2025 at 4pm BST/5pm CEST, join ASP member Rachel Malek, author of The Intelligent Age: A Field Guide to the Future, as she explores the emerging era with her co-host Lalith Gunaratne. An opportunity for conversation, looking at what our role as humans is in a time full of evolving intelligences, and how we can flourish.
This is a call to the explorers, the stewards, the system-shapers and story-weavers. For those willing to peer beyond the horizon and walk with curiosity into the unknown, this field guide offers a compass and companion. It charts the shifting landscapes of economy, governance, ecology, culture, and consciousness. Not to predict, but to orient. Not to prescribe, but to provoke reflection and response.
The future is not a distant land, but a dynamic ecosystem we are already shaping, moment by moment, choice by choice. It asks not only what kind of world is emerging, but what kind of humans we are becoming in its midst.
Rachel Malek is a Canadian-born facilitator, strategist, and systems thinker, now living in Italy.
Balancing her deep expertise in AI and emerging technologies, Rachel’s practice is animated by belief in our shared capacity to co-create a more regenerative and human future.
She explores questions that resist easy answers: What kind of world is coming into being? What kind of humans are we becoming within it? What is our responsibility as stewards of the past, present, and future?
