"Human Robot Agent: Redesigning Work in the Age of AI"
Embrace the transformative power of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and its sweeping impact on the workplace, leadership, and organizational design. This session unpacks highlights from the new book Human Robot Agent, exploring practical strategies to embrace innovation, navigate complexity, and harness AI to thrive in a socio-technological and wicked world.
Learning Objectives:

1. Understand AI's Role in New Ways of Working: Identify how technology reshapes traditional business structures and ways of working.
2. Embrace Disruptive Innovation: Learn actionable approaches to lead change and be the disruptor rather than embracing change and be the disrupted.
3. Cultivate New Skills and Mindsets: Explore the shift towards multi-skilled (M-skilled) workers and leadership adaptability in AI-driven networks.
4. Design for a Dynamic Future: Discover patterns and practices for building vital, dynamic, versatile, and ethically conscious organizations.

AI-based recruiting tools don’t like women. An average ChatGPT conversation consumes 500ml/ 16,91oz of water. Data annotators are not only challenged by low wages but also by mental health issues. These examples show that AI has issues addressing social, environmental, and economic sustainability.

All too often we are looking at the bright side only: the opportunities, innovations, conveniences (e.g., write that article for me), and fun (e.g., create that fun image). And certainly, AI does or can enhance both our private and professional lives. However, these enhancements come at a price. This has been observed by the UN, with the consequence that a resolution has been adopted to promote “safe, secure, and trustworthy AI systems that also benefit sustainable development.”

In this session, I want to explore practices that can help us all to become aware of our blind spots and this way be able to create AI 4 Sustainability. So, it seems AI 4 Sustainability requires a lot of work. Let’s get started.
