Rethinking Work in the Age of AI: Beyond the Hype & Fear ✨ | ADPList Chicago x Uber 🇺🇸
Conversations about AI often swing between extremes: overblown hype on one side, and job-stealing fear on the other.
This event is a real talk with industry leaders—from Uber, Microsoft, Creathinks and beyond—who are actively integrating AI into their work.
Key Discussion Points:
✅ AI & Productivity: Is AI truly making us more creative and effective, or just adding more noise?
✅ Human-AI Collaboration: How do we shift our mindset to leverage AI for optimal results?
✅ Leadership in AI: What practical steps can corporate leaders take to educate teams, reduce fear, and build AI literacy?
✅ Breaking the Clichés: AI won’t “replace” people—but it will change expectations. How do we adapt and take control of this shift?
This is not another AI hype session.
It’s a conversation about demystifying AI from a human standpoint, exploring real-world applications, and discussing how we can use AI to come together—not compete against it.
🚀 Join us for a constructive, no-BS conversation about the future of work and AI.
