Session: "Becoming Resilient - Career Survival for the Age of the Human-AI Partnership"

Rather than treating artificial intelligence solely as a threat to jobs, this session examines the emerging relationship between human and artificial intelligence as a partnership that will reshape work, identity, and professional relevance. Drawing from real-world observations and changing economic conditions, Steve will address concerns about workforce disruption while offering a framework for adapting to change. The session emphasizes human strengths such as judgment, curiosity, and resilience and challenges attendees to define their own approach to working with AI as technology continues to change how work gets done.

 

Learning Objectives

Attendees will be able to:

• Recognize why adaptability and personal resilience matter in an AI-enabled workplace.
• Identify ways to intentionally strengthen personal resilience.
• Define their own "AI story" and approach to working alongside emerging technology.

 

For project professionals, career resilience increasingly involves more than learning another tool. It requires understanding which human capabilities remain valuable as technology changes the work around them. Steve's PDD 2026 session focuses on that longer-term question of professional adaptability.
