How do you ensure that people lead first in an AI-driven workplace?

TechShake explored this question as an official media partner at the State of HR Summit in Makati, co-presented by Sprout Solutions and BS Works.

Industry leaders Kislay Chandra and Cliff Eala emphasized that while AI drives operational efficiency in the workplace, critical thinking and human judgment remain completely irreplaceable.

Ultimately, the recent summit highlighted that AI transformation isn't just about adopting software, but guiding people through change. As the workplace evolves, keeping humans at the core of innovation remains an organization's strongest advantage.
