About this session

AI is increasing both the volume of workforce evidence available to executives and the speed at which decisions are expected. The challenge is no longer simply generating insight, but deciding what deserves attention and what should influence action. This roundtable examines how leaders can combine AI-generated analysis, people analytics, employee listening and talent intelligence with business context, critical judgement and clear accountability.
