The Real Cost of AI in the Workforce: What the Math Actually Looks Like When You Stop Guessing
Every organization is making AI workforce decisions right now, and most are doing so without a reliable model of what those decisions actually cost or return. This session cuts through the noise on one of the most consequential questions HR leaders face: how do you plan for a workforce that is being augmented by AI in some places and replaced by it in others, and how do you know which is which before the bill comes due?
Analysts and CHROs who have been in real deployments join a frank, spirited conversation about what the ROI math actually looks like in practice, why the augmentation-vs.-replacement framing leads organizations into bad planning decisions, and what has driven success or failure when the rubber meets the road. This isn't a session about token costs or IT budgets alone. It's about workforce strategy, financial planning, and the organizational traps already catching companies off guard, and what HR leaders need to own next.
