What We'll Cover:

In this groundbreaking talk, Paul reveals why traditional AI training falls short and he demonstrates how organizations can achieve remarkable productivity gains by preparing employees to treat AI as a team member, while avoiding the common pitfall of anthropomorphizing these digital tools. It all starts with training employees to accept, better understand, and effectively use AI.

Drawing from research and practical experience, Paul introduces the Five Pillars of Human-AI Collaboration™ and shows how an updated version of emotional intelligence serves as the foundation for successful AI integration. Attendees will learn concrete strategies for managing AI-related anxiety, building trust in human-AI hybrid teams, and creating workflows that integrate both human and artificial intelligence. This talk goes beyond basic prompting to address the real challenges organizations face in the AI era, providing leaders with actionable frameworks for building teams into AI collaboration pioneers.
