AI and the Talent Mobility Story: The Pros, The Cons, and What Leaders Need to Do Next

The verdict is in. AI is all the rage for a wide variety of talent practices, and that includes talent mobility. But what's really working today?

In this session, Fuel50 CEO Anne Fulton and Lighthouse Research & Advisory Chief Research Officer Ben Eubanks will share the latest research and real-world examples on the intersection of AI, employee growth, and talent mobility. You will leave with a clearer view of where AI truly adds value, where it creates unintended consequences, and what leaders need to do next.

As the author of three editions of Artificial Intelligence for HR, Eubanks was the industry's first researcher to delve deeply into AI applications to support talent practices, but as you'll hear in this combined presentation and fireside chat conversation, he believes a human-first workforce is the best path to the future of work.

Combined with Fuel50's CEO and her perspective of what high-performing organizations are doing today, this is one session you don't want to miss.
