Gen AI is the worst today…
Gen AI is the worst today… …that it will ever be. I am sure you have heard this or read this sentence already a million times – but it is and stays true. Especially with the still heavy investments (check out Nvidia’s latest reports) as well as news cycle around new LLMs almost every week. I…

What is your key AI or Technology feature in your HR Technology? – and are you looking at it from the right angle? What is the most important aspect of your Technology? – and do you think it has anything to do actually with Technology?
Welcome to another Employee Experience Labs podcast from the Munich Podcast studio. Employee Experience Labs Podcasts are about HR Tech, Employee Experience, Shared Service and other interesting topics around HR at the workplace.
Today's episode is an addition to our Start up and AI series we are running. It is still a bit of start-up but has morphed from there significantly – but it is still hardcore AI today. I am sure you will get a lot out of today's episode. I had the pleasure to talk to Jason Scheckner, AI Strategy GTM at Workday and former Chief Business Officer at HiredScore. Jason and I have talked about AI, featuritis and why adoption is more important than anything else.We went deep into AI and how it can be successful – and in that we went back to our in-depth conversations we had in France to not only talk about AI for HR, but the much bigger game of HR for AI – and how critical this is for success. Not only for the success of your AI transformation, but for the future of your company.
But why am I telling you everything already here and now: Listen for yourself: Jason Scheckner, AI Strategy GTM at Workday and former Chief Business Officer at HiredScore
