AI is reshaping the nature of work, and the labor market we are stepping into looks nothing like the one before it. W hile nobody can predict the future of an AI-driven labor market, we can lo ok closer at the questions that matter most: What skills are needed for en tering an AI-driven workplace? How is AI shaping specific HR processes, su ch as recruitment or onboarding? And how can organizations make decisions that support the successful implementation of AI, in ways that also work f or their people?

Recently, the people building the world’s most powerful AI models asked the world to slow down the speed of AI impl ementation. The people leading nations told them not to. Somewhere between those two positions, organizations and employees are left with the questi on: How to survive and thrive in the AI-dominant workplace? This directly points to the split between AI adoption and readiness: companies are switc hing AI on faster than employees can catch up.

In this event, we w ill discuss how AI is changing the way work gets done, which jobs remain, what skills matter, and what it means for current and future employees. We will also discuss how organizations can make better decisions by using da ta to understand which people, skills, leadershipstyles, and cultures are most likely to succeed.

The event will open with a keynote by Rina Joosten-Rabou (Pera). Afterward, two researchers from the Amsterdam Peopl e Analytics Centre, Neris Güven and Helen Zhao, will share the latest rese arch on how AI is transforming the nature of work. A roundtable will follo w, joined by Matthijs Werkman (Randstad) and Corine Boon (Amsterdam Busine ss School), diving deeper into what this means for both employees and orga nizations.
