    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.

    Learning Objectives:

    • Design and implement change management strategies for AI integration that address employee resistance, build psychological safety, and foster a culture of innovation (People Knowledge Domain: Employee Engagement & Retention)
    • Develop frameworks for ethical AI adoption that align with organizational values, ensure compliance, and maintain employee trust while improving operational efficiency (Organization Knowledge Domain: Structure of HR Function)
    • Design and implement training programs that build AI collaboration competencies in human-AI hybrid teams, focusing on both technical skills and emotional intelligence while establishing clear protocols for collaboration (People Knowledge Domain: Talent Development)
