Is Artificial Intelligence coming for your job, or is it the key to finally becoming a strategic business partner?

In this episode of Solving the People Puzzle, Francois sits down with Dr. Dieter Veldsman, Chief HR Scientist at the Academy to Innovate HR (AIHR), to debunk the myths surrounding AI in the workplace.

Dr. Dieter reveals why the narrative of "replacement" is wrong and why we are seeing a rise in "AI Regret"—where companies replace humans too quickly, only to realize the value of empathy and connection.

We explore how HR professionals can move from fear to "AI Fluency", using technology to amplify their impact rather than just automate tasks. If you want to future-proof your career, master durable skills, and learn the 3 E's of implementing AI, this episode is your blueprint for thriving in the AI era.

🚀 Ready to amplify your hiring process? At Wamly, we believe in using technology to highlight human potential, not hide it. Our video interview software automates the screening process so you can spend more time on what matters—connecting with top talent.
