How Leaders Can Ease the Growing Pains of Generative AI for Their Workforce

The outcome of generative AI in the workforce isn’t as straightforward as replacing jobs. It has the potential to improve employee resilience, boost productivity and eliminate repeatable tasks — but only for organizations that adequately prepare their workforce for the growing pains that will inevitably accompany this disruptive technology.

Leaders will need to support their workforce through the transition as they acquire new skills that AI can augment, all while maintaining a culture of resilience, productivity and diversity. At .conf23 in Las Vegas, Splunk’s Petra Jenner, SVP and General Manager, Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), sat down with analysts Daniel Newman and Patrick Moorhead from the Six Five to discuss how leaders can prepare for these new challenges. As generative AI raises warranted concerns around data privacy, Jenner also explains why other regions should follow EMEA’s lead by enacting stringent regulations on data usage.
