2:10pm-2:55pm Leading With AI: How People Leaders Can Use AI For Good

Concurrent Session

Imagine waking up tomorrow to an email saying your role has been automated—no warning, no backup plan, just a curt goodbye. That’s the fear-driven narrative surrounding AI. But what if that very technology could do the opposite—guiding employees to better-fit roles, funding reskilling, and even scheduling job interviews within days?

The future of AI in the workplace isn’t about replacing human potential—it’s about unlocking it. This session, based on insights from the book AI For Good, provides a practical roadmap for HR and talent leaders to harness AI responsibly and build a more inclusive, future-ready workforce.

This won’t be a one-way talk—it’s a catalyst for HR leaders who want to move beyond AI hype and rewrite the script of work.

Through case studies, real-world data, and hands-on frameworks, we’ll explore:

  • Bias-breaking AI and its role in reducing turnover and enhancing workforce mobility
  • The Three Waves of AI in HR – From quick wins you can implement today to the long-term vision of an AI-powered "Talent Manager" that helps employees thrive.
  • How HR can actively shape AI policies to ensure fairness, transparency, and long-term success
