🔮 Advice for future HR leaders:

"We actually have to make that shift. Otherwise, the question of 'couldn't we just get AI to do what you do?' will be answered with 'yes, you could,' if we don't make that shift. It's crucial to evolve our roles to add value in ways AI cannot." - Christopher Lind , Chief Learning Officer at ChenMed

"Simplify the language in which we are bringing AI to life within the organization. It's important to ensure everyone can understand and engage with the AI initiatives, making the transition smoother and more effective." - Beatriz Rodriguez , Group Chief Talent & Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Officer at Bayer

"It's more than just technology; it's about changing the culture and rewarding behavior. Successful AI integration requires a holistic approach that includes cultural and behavioral changes, not just technical solutions." - Jason Cerrato , Vice President, Market Strategy at Eightfold

"We need to reinvent what humans do to add value, and that's going to be a learning process all on its own. Leaders must focus on helping their teams adapt and find new ways to contribute meaningfully alongside AI advancements." - Tim Young , Senior Vice President, HR Operations at Pearson
