AI is reshaping the world of work at lightning speed. While automation has the potential to streamline processes, knee-jerk, unchecked implementation poses risks to worker well-being, income security, and could exacerbate inequality. We need to protect and upskill workers, ensure that the gains get distributed more broadly to employees than during past economic disruptions and build guardrails into our governance of these tools. This session examines how we can thoughtfully and proactively manage these risks and create value for both workers and businesses. It will be a practical session exploring the roles of capital allocation, data and organizational change strategies for successful and just implementation of the AI transition. We are at a crossroads, the time is now to come together to lead in learning from past experience to ensure workers, businesses and society captures maximum value from this major innovation.
