AI in HR - Session 1
Your Employees are Already Using AI. Now Let's Lead It Well.
Presented by
Ashley Johnson
Principal HR Business Partner

AI adoption is already happening in your organization, often faster than official rollout plans. This session helps you see exactly where AI is shaping hiring and workforce decisions right now, and gives you the language to talk about it with clarity instead of guesswork. You'll walk away with the Decision Ownership Ladder, a practical tool for mapping where AI fits in your processes today so you can make intentional choices about where it should sit tomorrow. Featuring a live Q&A with an IT security leader who brings the systems-side view into the room.
