AI for HR: Building Trust in an Automated Workplace

Madison Butler is a former Chief People Officer, author, career strategist, and founder of Permission Slip Labs. She is the author of Let Them See You and has spent her career challenging the traditional rules we've been taught about work, ambition, leadership, and success.

Known for blending practical career strategy with a healthy amount of corporate anarchy, Madison helps people question what they're "supposed" to want and make career decisions based on what actually matters to them.

Her philosophy is simple: you don't need one career that works for the rest of your life. You need a career that works for the season of life you're in.

Aubrey Blanche is an AI ethicist, organizational strategist, and founder of The Mathpath, a systems design practice helping organizations adopt AI responsibly without losing sight of our humanity. Currently pursuing a master's in AI Ethics & Society at the University of Cambridge, her research explores safe AI companions, the influence of designers' identities on technology, and AI's environmental impact.

Her work focuses on protecting human agency, critical thinking, and relationships as AI becomes increasingly embedded in our lives. Combining analytical rigor with empathy, Aubrey challenges organizations to look beyond what AI can do and consider what it should do, advocating for technology that strengthens human judgment, dignity, and connection rather than replacing them.
