As AI becomes increasingly embedded in our working lives, much of the conversation has focused on what it can help us automate, accelerate and produce. But perhaps a more important question is: what will we do with the capacity it creates?

Drawing on the principles of job crafting and positive psychology, this session introduces AI Crafting – an emerging approach to intentionally reshaping how we work by leveraging the complementary strengths of humans and AI. Rather than using AI simply to do more, AI Crafting invites us to consider how AI-created capacity can be intentionally reinvested into work that better uses our strengths, deepens engagement, strengthens relationships and creates greater meaning and value.

Drawing on practical frameworks and examples from organisations, Anna will explore the opportunities — and potential risks — of redesigning work in an AI-enhanced world, and challenge us to move beyond asking “What can AI do?” to consider a more human question: “What do we want work to become?”
