Human System
AI as a Workforce and Talent Operating Layer
Stuart McClure
CEO and Founder, Wethos AI | AI and Cybersecurity Thought Leader
Drawing from decades of building AI driven cybersecurity and enterprise systems, Stuart explores how AI becomes the operating layer for human performance. His talk focuses on using predictive and generative AI to understand traits, biases, and behavioral patterns at scale. This enables dynamic team design, real time performance optimization, and AI powered talent placement.
Rather than static org charts and fixed roles, Stuart outlines what AI native organizations look like when intelligence continuously aligns people, incentives, and execution.
System Layer
AI as an Infrastructure and Systems Operating Layer
Miguel Caballero Pinto
Startup Advisor at Braid Theory | Software Engineering Manager at Harmonic
Miguel breaks down what sits beneath the AI workplace including APIs, distributed systems, data ingestion pipelines, and scalable architectures. He explores how AI moves from experimental prototype to production grade infrastructure and what engineering discipline is required to support reliability, scale, and security.
This layer focuses on how intelligent systems are architected, deployed, and maintained inside real organizations.
Execution Layer
AI as a Workflow and Productivity Operating Layer
Tony Xiong
Founder of Bubbl
Tony shares how AI integrates directly into daily workflows. As the founder of an AI native conversational assistant, he explores how AI can filter signal from noise, surface insights across platforms, and generate actionable next steps.
