Not Replaced—Reimagined: Building an AI-Ready Workforce
AI isn’t just reshaping workflows—it’s redefining what it means to work. And in California, where innovation moves fast and talent is the greatest currency, the stakes are uniquely high. As automation spreads across industries—from tech and media to healthcare and logistics—leaders face a defining moment: will we empower people to work alongside AI, or allow AI to quietly redefine the rules?
With more than 40% of U.S. jobs expected to be impacted by AI and nearly half of today’s core skills projected to shift by 2027, the urgency is real. In Los Angeles—where creativity, reinvention, and cross-industry collaboration thrive—the question isn’t just how we adopt AI, but how we redesign work in a way that’s inclusive, responsible, and future-proof.
This session will explore how organizations are moving from fear to strategy, investing in reskilling, rethinking leadership, and creating a culture where technology amplifies human potential instead of replacing it. Because the future of work isn’t about replacement—it’s about reimagination.

Deepfakes, Data Leaks & Digital Chaos: Are We Prepared for the Next Information War?
We’ve entered an era where seeing is no longer believing. Deepfakes are becoming alarmingly convincing, AI-generated content floods our feeds, and data leaks are exposing sensitive information at a scale we’ve never seen before. While past cyber threats targeted systems, today’s threats target perception—and the consequences can be political, financial, and deeply personal.
In Los Angeles—a global hub for media, entertainment, and communications—the risks are amplified. What happens when misinformation undermines trust, or when synthetic videos cause real-world damage to brands, institutions, or public figures? This session will explore how organizations can recognize and respond to this new kind of threat, where technology, security, and reputation collide.
More than a warning, this is a call to action: to rethink our approach to digital trust, build resilience across departments, and prepare for a future where the battle isn’t just about data—but about truth itself.v
