Futuristic leaders embrace the art of the possible at People Matters TechHR Singapore

The advent of artificial intelligence in HR has left many leaders excited and terrified. While AI systems could help save time in administrative and legal, create unbiased recruitment decisions in choosing candidates, personalise career paths for skills and learning for the workforce, leaders still don’t understand its limitations entirely. 

That’s when questions like ‘Should organisation invest in AI’, ‘What if we just installed 3.0 version and 4.0 is out on the scene’, ‘Should we risk it all to be the early adopters’, ‘What if the unpredictability of human beings is not captured in data and henceforth by AI’ and ‘How AI will change the dynamics at work’, among others pop up. 

Which is why we are back with People Matters TechHR Singapore, Asia’s largest HR and Worktech conference, where some of the visionaries of the future of work will clear out your inhibitions, dilemmas and doubts with their insightful case studies, panel discussion, fireside chats and so much more on the ‘art of the possible.’ It’s now, more than ever, that we need to understand how to build the workplaces we want, as we create the foundation for the next generations. 

Here’s introducing the biggest names in HR and Worktech set to go on stage on August 24 at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore.
