About this Event
AI is transforming the workplace. Tasks and roles are evolving, and decisions are increasingly shared between people and machines. To launch International Women’s Day 2027, Women of AI will convene seven leaders in AI, transformation, leadership, and governance, along with a guest keynote, to address a critical question: as AI assumes more responsibilities, what defines our humanity, and how can we ensure our people continue to thrive?
About the event
Most organisations now use AI, but few have considered its impact on daily work. New tools are often layered onto existing processes, roles change in practice but not on paper, and leaders must make decisions about trust and accountability with limited guidance.
What Makes Us Human is a one-day conference designed to address this gap. We begin with practical strategies for redesigning roles so AI handles appropriate tasks and people retain meaningful work. Next, we explore how to use AI confidently while maintaining critical judgment and authenticity. Finally, we examine why the unpredictable aspects of human nature are essential for effective leadership.
The event concludes with a cross-industry panel that examines these topics through real workplace experiences: what is effective, what remains challenging, and how accountability is managed when AI is involved in decisions. Speakers include advisors to governments, AI auditors, professional trainers, and board members. Attendees will leave with practical frameworks to apply immediately.
The conference also offers an opportunity to connect at Century Club in Soho with 100 peers and decision-makers from marketing, technology, HR, legal, and board leadership. Bring your current challenges and be prepared to share insights over lunch and drinks.
