TAKEAWAYS
- AI adoption requires treating it like a teammate, not a tool, with dedicated time for learning and experimentation.
- Chief People Officers must be involved in AI implementation decisions as the line between hiring people versus tools blurs.
- Companies should invest in early-career talent who are "AI natives" and bring fresh perspectives to innovation.
