​The way we evaluate and develop people is evolving—and AI is playing an increasingly central role. From tools that analyze productivity and surface feedback trends to platforms that promise more objective performance reviews, managers today face a critical question: How do we lead effectively when AI is part of the equation?

​In this interactive session, we’ll explore how people managers can responsibly use AI to enhance performance conversations, reduce bias, and support team growth—without losing the human touch. Through a panel discussion and breakout activities, we’ll dig into the practical and ethical dimensions of this shift: What should managers be paying attention to? Where can AI help—and where should we be cautious? And how do we stay grounded in empathy, fairness, and trust as we adopt these new tools?

​Whether you’re experimenting with AI-powered performance systems or simply curious about what’s ahead, this event offers a space to learn, reflect, and connect with fellow leaders navigating this new frontier.
