IOP Evolution during the AI Revolution: How to Level Up Your I-O Psychology Skills to Adapt in the Rise of AI

The AI work revolution is here. All information-oriented professionals, whether experienced or novice, must evolve and determine how AI can be effectively integrated into their daily workflow. However, industrial-organizational professionals (IOP) with our already broad and relevant work-ready competencies are well-positioned to adapt to AI in the workplace. In this session, we will explore nine essential AI competencies and introduce an organizing framework that can help IOP to more fully develop the professional competencies to collaborate and lead effectively in an increasingly AI-augmented world. In this session, we will discuss the possibilities, opportunities, and challenges AI presents in the workplace and offer practical tips to students and other developing IOP regarding how to build and strengthen these AI competencies through various development opportunities. You will leave this session with a clearer understanding of what you need to know about AI and how to approach your personal AI competence development with a more complete understanding of how to level up, evolve, and remain a relevant and capable IOP.
