Bridging the Human–AI Gap

Presenter: Temi / Temitope Oresanya

Venue: Lecture B – The Oasis

As AI is introduced across organizations, many initiatives fail not because the technology is flawed, but because people don’t trust or understand it. Teams are expected to act on automated decisions they can’t explain, managers struggle to justify tools they didn’t design, and employees quietly resist systems that change their roles without warning. This talk focuses on what breaks when automation enters everyday work and how to fix it. It offers practical approaches for communicating AI-driven change, clarifying accountability, and building trust so automation supports people rather than undermines them.

Objective:

• Help leaders manage trust, communication, and accountability when introducing AI and automation.

Insights Connection:
This talk connects real-world AI adoption challenges with practical change and communication strategies. It shows how gaps in trust, clarity, and accountability undermine automation efforts, and how technical leaders can bridge those gaps to ensure AI systems are understood, adopted, and used responsibly within everyday work.
