Future-Proof Your Career Resilience and Opportunity in the Age of AI

In this inspiring and timely session from the Artificial Unintelligence Conference, Dr. Joan Bajorek, technologist, author, and CEO of Women in Voice, explores how to thrive in a world transformed by artificial intelligence and automation.

Drawing on her personal experience navigating multiple AI-driven layoffs, Bajorek offers a candid and empowering perspective on what it truly means to “future-proof” your career. She argues that the key to success in the age of AI isn’t technical mastery alone — it’s resilience, adaptability, and continuous reinvention.

Key ideas explored:
• How to cultivate resilience amid rapid technological change
