How Love Intelligence Creates Real Wealth in the AI Era

On 1 March 2026, at Singapore’s Bras Basah Complex, a different kind of talk took place.

Instead of discussing artificial intelligence, data, or technology trends, the keynote explored something far more human.

The topic was:

“How Love Intelligence Creates Real Wealth in the AI Era.”

The session, delivered by a speaker and author Andy Ng, lasted 90 minutes, significantly longer than his typical keynote.

The reason was simple.

The talk quickly turned into a dialogue.

Participants shared personal stories, asked questions, and reflected on how leadership is changing in a world increasingly shaped by AI.

As part of the session, every participant completed a Love Intelligence (LQ) assessment, a framework that examines how individuals build trust, relationships, and influence.

What emerged from the discussion was a simple but powerful idea.

Technology may increase efficiency, but human relationships create wealth.

In many organisations today, leaders focus heavily on intelligence, strategy, and performance metrics.

But the long-term success of any organisation depends on something less measurable:

trust.

According to the Love Intelligence framework, trust grows through three key capabilities:

• Care: understanding people and their needs
• Courage: making principled decisions even under pressure
• Connection: building meaningful relationships

These elements form the core of Love Intelligence (LQ).

In the AI era, knowledge is no longer scarce.

Information is widely available, and intelligent tools can generate answers instantly.

What remains uniquely human is the ability to care, connect, and inspire others.

That is why Love Intelligence may become one of the most important leadership capabilities in the coming decades.

The keynote also marked a continuation of a larger idea introduced in Andy Ng’s recent book:

“Love Intelligence” launched on 1 January 2026. (see https://asiatrainers.org/lqamazon)

The book argues that success in the modern world will not be defined solely by intelligence or technical skill. 

Instead, it will depend on the ability to build strong human relationships in an increasingly technological world.

In other words, while AI may transform industries, the ultimate advantage may still belong to those who remain deeply human.
