As AI becomes more autonomous, employees are engaging with it not only for efficiency but also for emotional support. This shift raises important questions for HR leaders:
- What defines a “healthy” working relationship between employees and AI?
- How can HR design work that strengthens human connection while maximizing AI-human collaboration?
This session presents original research and offers an actionable framework to guide decision-making. In this boardroom, HR leaders will explore:
- The current state of employee- AI relationships and what this signals about connection at work
- How autonomous AI will reshape dynamics among employees, managers, and teams
- The risks of employee over-reliance on AI for emotional support
- How HR can thoughtfully redesign work to enable effective AI-human collaboration
- Practical steps to ensure AI enhances, not replaces, human connection
