Topic: Beyond Prompts: The 5 Pillars to Build Human-AI Relationships that Get Things Done
Presented By: Paul Carney, SPHR, EVP/Chief Human Resources Officer of Carter Bank
Summary:
As artificial intelligence evolves from a mere tool into a digital counterpart,
organizations face a critical challenge: technical expertise alone isn't driving the
expected business results. According to a study by Upwork in July, 2024, 77% of
employees using AI say these tools have added to their workload, and nearly half
(47%) of employees using AI report they do not know how to achieve the expected
productivity gains. A report by McKinsey in August 2024, states that while AI
promises significant productivity gains and cost reductions, these benefits only
materialize when leaders successfully blend AI capabilities with human skills
across their organizational processes.
In this groundbreaking talk, Paul reveals why traditional AI training falls short and
he demonstrates how organizations can achieve remarkable productivity gains by
preparing employees to treat AI as a team member, while avoiding the common
pitfall of anthropomorphizing these digital tools. It all starts with training
employees to accept, better understand, and effectively use AI.
Drawing from research and practical experience, Paul introduces the Five Pillars
of Human-AI Collaboration™ and shows how emotional intelligence serves as the
foundation for successful AI integration. Attendees will learn concrete strategies
for managing AI-related anxiety, building trust in hybrid teams, and creating
workflows that integrate both human and artificial intelligence. This talk goes
beyond basic prompting to address the real challenges organizations face in the
AI era, providing leaders with actionable frameworks for building teams into AI
collaboration pioneers.
