The Myth of the AI Paradigm Shift

Most AI adoption starts with tools: pick a platform, deploy a model, hope impact follows. The result is usually incremental efficiency—not meaningful change. This session makes a different case: transformation begins with use cases, not technology. Instead of asking “Where can we apply AI?”, organizations should ask “What decisions or outcomes must improve—and what work needs to change to get there?" Panelists will share how leading organizations redesign workflows, governance, and incentives alongside AI—so gains translate into real mission impact, not just faster versions of the same work.
