The Humanity Code: Teaching AI What Matters Most with Heidi Lorenzen

What if the most important question leaders ask about AI isn’t “How fast can we use it?” but “What future are we training it to build?”

On this episode of Humanity at Scale, host Bruce Temkin sits down with Heidi Lorenzen, Chief Content Officer at e.Republic and founder and executive producer of The Humanity Code, a documentary and global impact campaign focused on aligning AI with humanity’s highest values.

With a career spanning Polycom, Autonomy, BusinessWeek, and years helping executives understand exponential technology at Singularity University, Heidi has seen firsthand how technology scales faster than leadership, governance, and reflection. She argues that AI doesn’t create our values, it amplifies them and leaders are already shaping AI far more than they realize through their daily choices, incentives, and behaviors.

This is not a conversation about hype or fear. It’s about stewardship, responsibility, and agency during a pivotal moment in history and how leaders can ensure AI helps us build the kind of society we actually want.

Heidi Lorenzen is Chief Content Officer at e.Republic and the founder and executive producer of The Humanity Code, a documentary film and impact initiative dedicated to ensuring humanity’s core values are intentionally embedded into AI and emerging technologies. Named one of the Top 50 Most Powerful Women in Technology, Heidi brings three decades of leadership experience across global technology, communications, and innovation. Her work challenges leaders to see themselves not just as operators of organizations but as stewards helping shape the trajectory of civilization at a moment when our choices matter more than ever.
