AI first – humans second?

Generative AI in the workplace: How do we manage the human side of Gen AI?

What happens to relationships, trust, and the role of HR when AI moves into collaboration?

Generative AI has found its way into Danish workplaces in record time. Many organizations have already taken the first steps with a focus on efficiency, productivity, new opportunities, data security and guidelines.

But what happens to people when technology becomes part of everyday life?

How does AI affect our collaboration, professional identity and experience of meaning in work? Why do some experience AI as a great help, while others experience uncertainty, conflicts or loss of professionalism? And what role should management and HR play in the next phase of AI implementation?

In this webinar, Christian Horn presents new, practice-oriented research based on qualitative case studies from 10 teaching groups with a total of approximately 200 participants at the Aarhus Business Academy. The participants include managers, HR managers, project managers, specialists, professional resource persons, coordinators and shop stewards from a wide range of private and public organizations.

Based on basic psychological needs, meaning-making and concrete everyday examples, Christian focuses on how generative AI affects motivation, collaboration, well-being and communication – and why the biggest challenges often lie not in the technology, but in the different experiences that AI creates in people.

The webinar provides a practical look at how organizations can move from "AI first" to "human first - then AI" - and how HR and management can create better frameworks for dialogue, collaboration and common rules of the game around AI in everyday life.

In this webinar you will gain insight into:

  • Why AI affects people very differently
  • How AI can strengthen or challenge motivation, collaboration and well-being
  • What dilemmas already arise in many organizations
  • How management and HR can support meaning-making and psychologically sustainable implementation
  • Concrete steps for dialogue, collaboration and common rules of the game around AI

Therefore, you should participate:

If AI is to create lasting value, implementation is not just about technology. It is also about people. This webinar provides a research-based and practical look at the next phase of AI development, where management, HR and organizations must create frameworks that support innovation, collaboration and well-being.

The webinar is relevant for all HR and People professionals, managers and others who work with AI, change, collaboration, well-being, culture or organizational development.
