Human+AI Alliance: Talent Leaders & AI Developers Collab
Summary
Breaking down the critical divide in AI implementation: the gap between those who design AI experiences, build AI systems, and develop humans to work with them. AI designers create experiences, developers build systems, talent leaders develop humans, UI/UX designers shape interactions—but they rarely collaborate. Result? AI implementations fail because they ignore human experience design and adaptation needs. We'll break down silos between these groups, creating the cross-functional alliance every organization needs but few achieve.
