Event Overview

The hype about AI's impact often focuses on the downside risks to jobs, with alarming headlines like "These are the top 50 jobs AI will replace!" However, the reality is far more nuanced and potentially positive. World Economic Forum surveys indicate that 75% of medium to large firms are planning AI initiatives to chase productivity gains – which they suggest will be a net job creator, leading to 30 million additional jobs in the next few years.

As AI reshapes the workplace, understanding its profound effects on culture, job design, workforce planning, and recruitment is crucial. At this exclusive lunch meeting, Dr. Reece Akhtar, CEO of Deeper Signals and Adjunct Professor of Algorithmic Responsibility at NYU, will share cutting-edge insights and case studies from the frontlines of AI and talent strategy.

In this thought-provoking session, Dr. Akhtar will explain the evolution of AI and where it's going, why AI will augment human creativity and work rather than replace it, and how AI will reshape the way organizations select, engage, and develop their workforce.

Key Topics

Addressing the challenges facing the modern HR leader, this practical session will explore:

  1. AI as a talent multiplier: How AI democratizes knowledge, elevates roles, and allows people to become better at their jobs through increased access to information.
  2. Decentralized decision-making: The potential shift of decision-making to the front lines, leveraging AI-enhanced knowledge structures to tap into tacit knowledge and improve decision speed and effectiveness.
  3. Culture as a competitive edge: Why your organizational culture matters more than ever in an AI-driven world, and how it differentiates your company from AI-generated content.
  4. Essential soft skills: The critical importance of curiosity, teamwork, and grit in an AI-enhanced workplace, and how to foster these skills within your organization.
  5. Assessments for AI-ready talent management: Strategies for identifying, developing, and retaining talent with the skills needed to thrive in an AI-augmented workplace.
