Hybrid Intelligence: Managing AI’s Evolution from Tool to Coworker

From the logic of code to the nuances of creative design, our use of generative AI is evolving: it’s becoming less of a passive tool and more of an active teammate. As AI transitions into autonomous agents, the boundaries of professional roles are drawing a jagged frontier where the technology can outperform experts in one moment and stumble over simple logic the next. This session explores the friction and the flair of the new workforce. When technical "hard skills" are commoditized by automation, what becomes our new competitive advantage? How do we balance the speed of agentic autonomy with the necessity of human accountability? And as we move from managing people to orchestrating systems, what must we learn today to lead effectively tomorrow?
