Artificial intelligence is reshaping talent acquisition at a rapid pace, but successful transformation hinges on more than the technology—it depends on people. As RPO and TA teams adopt new tools and workflows, many are experiencing a new challenge: AI burnout. From fear of job displacement to unclear expectations and rapid change cycles, the human side of AI adoption is increasingly impacting morale, trust, and performance.

In this session, Beth Ridley—Chief People and Performance Officer and CEO of Ridley Consulting Group—shares practical strategies for reducing AI-related fatigue and building a culture where innovation can thrive. Drawing from her global leadership experience and expertise in change management and positive psychology, Beth will explore how organizations can balance automation with empathy and transparency to create sustainable, people-centered transformation.

What You’ll Learn

• How to recognize early signs of AI burnout and resistance among recruiting and delivery teams

• Proven ways to strengthen communication, trust, and psychological safety during tech adoption

• Real examples of organizations that mishandled the human side of AI—and how they corrected course

• A simple framework leaders can apply immediately to encourage confident adoption and continuous improvement
