AI in the workplace to be explored at the GamesIndustry.biz HR Summit

A leading AI expert will discuss the “potentials and pitfalls” of using AI tools in the workplace at next month’s GamesIndustry.biz HR Summit.

The summit will take place at the Royal Institution in London on 18 September. Tickets are available here.

Tommy Thompson from AI in Games will provide a high-level overview of what generative AI is capable of achieving, as well as what it can’t do. He will explore the applications of different AI systems within an HR context and what issues teams need to be aware of in terms of their adoption into HR processes, as well as broader issues that may impact the broader adoption of the technology by studios, including intellectual property and copyright, as well as the need to understand the emerging regulatory landscape.

AI is just one of the big themes at this year’s Summit, which also includes multiple breakout sessions and talks on mental health, neurodiversity, leadership, supporting teams through change, remote work, and more.

In addition to a full programme of talks, there will also be several parallel sessions, lunches, drinks and the event will conclude with the presentation of the Best Places To Work Awards 2024. You can see the updated programme here.

Our current list of expert speakers includes AJ Grand-Scrutton (Dlala), Andy Coley (Games Studio Training), Craig Duncan (Rare), Eimear Slattery (RKD), Emma Smith (Hestia Talent), Gemma Cooper (Dlala), Gina Jackson (Pitchify), Harriet Mansion (Rare), Hayley Blundy (Futurlab), Lisa Opie (Ubisoft), Michael Chan (Compulsion Games), Perri Lewis (Mastered), Phil Atkinson (NextGen Skills), Pierre Escaich (Ubisoft), Sarah Brewster (Fresh Seed), Sarah Sorrell (Safe In Our World), Scott Baxter (Wardog), Sean Hogan (RKD), Sheila Attwood (Brightmine), Tommy Thompson (AI and Games) and more to be announced soon.
