Dr. Sabba Quidwai

Educator, social scientist, and author Dr. Sabba Quidwai believes that cultures of innovation begin with a culture of empathy. Her career began as a high school teacher and evolved to leading innovation at USC and later being recruited as an education executive at Apple. These experiences deepened her insights as a social scientist, focusing on designing experiences, from the classroom to the corporate world, that give everyone the skills and strategies to be irreplaceable in a world with AI. In her 2020 documentary and book Designing Schools: How Design Thinking Makes YOU Irreplaceable in the Age of AI, she explores why and how design thinking is your greatest human advantage in an AI-driven world.
