Hiii,

Thank you for signing up for yesterday's HR Therapy! ❤️
Your AI hot takes in the chat set the tone right away. They ranged from "Skynet is coming" to "love it and scared of it at the same time," and sooo many of you said it felt cathartic to realize you're not alone in feeling both. That's exactly what HR Therapy is for. We're all in this together, trauma bonding and all!
If you missed the convo or wanna revisit it, catch the replay here.
Also, huge thank you to Dr. Ken Matos for spending an hour with us, and to HiBob for making this convo possible!
Here are a few fav moments from yesterday:
-
AI isn't a product. It's a way of doing a thousand different things, which is why tying it to promotions got messy so fast.
-
"Not just AI the technology, but AI the mythology." Dr. Ken on why the story we were told about AI (that it's coming for your job) is harder to shake than learning the tool itself.
-
Better homework, worse test scores. The study that makes the 24-month proficiency goal look like wishful thinking, and a reminder that doing the work is how we learn it.
-
Cutting costs only pays once. Companies getting AI right start with strategy: what should AI do for the business, and how does it help you grow? That's the part that keeps paying off.
-
"Your people aren't obstacles." Dr. Ken's reminder that employees have their own dreams and agendas, followed by the line that broke the chat: "It's a lot easier to be a self-starter when no one can punish you."
Still figuring out what AI skilled means for your team? 💡
HiBob's skills framework connects the skills you care about to hiring, performance, and development, so AI expectations actually show up in the work instead of just the JD. Book a free HiBob demo here to see how it works.
Until next time!

PS: If you're still trying to define what AI skilled means at your org, HiBob's free AI skills assessment guide gives you behavioral interview questions tied to their skills framework. Worth a look, even if you build your own.
