The Evolving Role of AI

Anna Binder and AJ Thomas will deliver the opening keynote on Day 2 of Responsive Conference 2024. 

Drawing from Anna’s experience at the Chief People Officer at Asana, and AJ’s experience leading Talent at X, the Moonshot Factory, they will bring a no nonsense approach to AI and its role within your organization. From hiring to performance coaching, how can AI become an integrated part of your daily work, supplementing but not replacing your focus on people?

This conversation will offer attendees a glimpse into the future of workplace practices, breaking down innovative ways to use AI to create high-performance teams.
