The board is no longer asking if AI matters. They are asking where it hits the P&L next quarter.

For years, HR has fought for a seat at the table. Now, the table has moved to you. For the first time, the biggest business problem and the biggest HR problem are exactly the same. But while the driver is technological, the solution is human.

They can tell you how many GPU clusters they are provisioning, but they cannot tell you which roles are most exposed to disruption or where the productivity gains will actually come from.
