KEYNOTE 04

Redesigning Work in the Age of AI

When AI creates time, the real question isn’t what to do with it, it’s whether you’ll

be brave enough to answer.

About this keynote

AI might speed things up, but is this our opportunity to slow down?

As we start to automate tasks, speed up workflows, and have agents do the work for us, we are not only being more productive, but creating more time. The questions is, what will you choose to do with it? As AI takes on more of the tasks that have consumed our working hours, we are facing a moment that generations before us never had, the opportunity to redesign work. This keynote challenges organisations to resist the instinct to cram more into the day, and instead ask: What would work look like if we used this moment to design for the human advantage?

What your audience will walk away with

Understand why AI is not the threat to wellbeing, but how we respond to it might be.
Recognise the choice organisations face right now: fill the time AI creates with more work, or use it to redesign how work happens.
Explore what the human advantage actually means, the things AI cannot replicate and that workplaces have been neglecting.
Discover what brave leadership looks like when it means giving people back time, autonomy, and space to do their best work.
Leave with a framework for thinking about how your organisation can use AI not just to work faster, but to work better and live well.
