AI is changing how we work and shifting skillsets.  

In this episode, PwC Australia’s Chief People Officer Karen Lonergan discusses how teams can adapt to thrive in an AI-enabled workplace, why humans will always remain at the helm of AI, and the critical need to invest in both human and technical skills.

“AI replaces skills, not whole jobs. We shouldn't be worried about AI. We should be worried about not investing in skills and development.”

Karen Lonergan, PwC Australia Chief People Officer
