Organizations are running full steam at AI pilots and initiatives to avoid being left behind in this formidable time of transformation. MIT’s State of AI in Business 2025 report, cited 95% of organizations were getting zero return despite significant ($30–40 billion) enterprise investment into Generative AI. The golden ‘key’ to AI transformation success at this time are our human employees. Human-centred change management principals are integral to deliver successful outcomes in AI transformation. How might we re-frame our current AI strategies to enable trust with our employees and create successful transformation?
AI is moving faster than most organizations can responsibly absorb. Generative AI tools were introduced rapidly—often without clear strategy, defined use cases, or meaningful guardrails. As adoption and use accelerate, so do the risks: data governance gaps, privacy concerns, bias, employee surveillance, and unclear accountability.
In this session, we will explore how HR leaders can guide responsible AI adoption by balancing innovation with governance, compliance, trust, and ethics. We will examine the federal lens on AI regulation in Canada, emerging best practices for AI governance frameworks, and the practical guardrails organizations must establish to move from ad-hoc implementation to integrated strategy.
We will also look ahead—to emergent AI systems and AI agents—and consider how these developments continue to reshape the future of work.
A mandatory requirement in a number of U.S. states, employers in Canada who rely on AI tools for candidate screening should be regularly auditing their tools for algorithmic bias- where candidates belonging to protected social groups are ‘screened out’on this basis.
