MIT just blew up the news cycle with the stat every HR leader dreads: 95% of AI pilots fail. They waste budgets, burn trust, and fizzle out before impact.

But the 5% that succeed? They’re rewriting the playbook for hiring, retention, and equity at scale. They’re proving AI can double recruiter output, return hundreds of thousands of hours to managers, and cut attrition—all in months, not years.

Diana Tsai, CEO of Upwage, will share the frameworks and case studies behind $30M+ in real, CFO-verified ROI. You’ll see how companies broke through the pilot graveyard and became category case studies. 

95% of pilots fail because they start with theory. The 5% succeed because they start with proof. This session is your invitation to join the 5%—to walk out not with slides, but with a working system, a tested roadmap, and the confidence to lead your company into the future of hiring.
