Technology is in the driver seat of meeting business and societal wants and needs. We swing on the pendulum of instant gratification vs worrying about our jobs becoming obsolete.  Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a technological game changer especially in Human Resource hiring practices.  Companies are moving towards leaning out their people and processes which causes panic on how employees are screened, selected, or no longer required.  As project leaders it will be important to navigate and understand that while the Robots are coming, we still own the plug!

As project leaders you will be able to leverage project management principles, methodologies, and tools with AI implementations. From a human resource perspective, you will need to navigate operational, technical, and human capital impacts more than ever before.  During these moments you will need to remain calm, focused and leverage your code of ethics.

The session will explore how AI aka “The Robot” is driving business and technology decisions within HR practices that impacts their most valuable resources – humans.  We will also explore the notion that company, and project leaders’ level of “control” is either limited or does not exist aka “Pulling the Plug” which lends itself to we humans will succumb to being replaced by artificial brains or robotics. Additionally, we will take a peek into understanding how to approach our own job search with or without AI from the job seekers position.
