Organizations are pouring time, money, and energy into AI, but many employees are quietly avoiding it or simply pretending to use it.

The result? Adoption that looks good on paper but delivers little impact in practice.

In this interactive panel discussion, we’ll unpack the human forces stalling AI adoption. Our panelists will also challenge the idea that low usage is a skills problem and show why AI adoption is fundamentally a system‑level change challenge—not a training gap.

You’ll be introduced to the BRAVE Framework, a practical way to diagnose where adoption breaks down and what leaders must do differently to unlock real behavior change. Walk away with concrete insights to move beyond AI theater and build trust, experimentation, and everyday AI use.
