AI Won't Take Your Job. But Someone Using it Might
AI is redefining not just what we do at work, but how we do it - and with whom. As agentic AI systems evolve from tools into active collaborators, they’re changing how decisions are made, how teams function and what skills are truly valuable.
Timo's keynote explores the emerging partnership between humans and AI agents, highlighting the shift from automation to amplification. You’ll get practical insights into reskilling, role evolution and building a culture where continuous learning and human-AI collaboration drive real innovation.
