Talk topic

AI & the future of work: turning worry into momentum.

The keynote to address head-on the question on every employee's mind: how will artificial intelligence change our jobs? A lucid, evidence-based and resolutely mobilising vision, far from the fantasies and snap predictions.

The stakes

The real question is not “will AI take my job” but “how will I work with it”.

The arrival of generative AI revives a legitimate worry about the future of jobs. Ignoring the subject would be a mistake; handling it clumsily — fuelling fear or drifting into wishful thinking — would be another. Employees expect an honest message that looks reality in the eye.

This talk sets a clear frame: what AI automates, what it augments, the skills that rise, those that decline, and how everyone — from executive to operator — can concretely prepare. A reassuring framework, because it gives back a grip on the future.

Romain Rissoan turns it into a message of collective action: AI is not a fate to endure, but a transition to steer together. The message is documented, rich in concrete examples and resolutely mobilising.

On the programme

The key points covered.

A message that adapts to your sector and your company culture.

01

Automate vs augment

The key distinction for grasping AI's real impact: some tasks are automated, others augmented — made more powerful by the tool. Sorting them out moves past the fear of “great replacement” and lets us reason calmly, role by role, task by task.

02

The skills of tomorrow

Which skills gain value in the age of AI, and which decline? Critical thinking, creativity, human relationships, the ability to collaborate with the machine: the talk maps the know-how to develop today to stay relevant.

03

Role by role

Concrete transformation examples, chosen close to your audience: how sales, support, production, HR or legal functions really evolve. Nothing is more telling than recognising yourself in lived situations to look ahead with confidence.

04

The manager's role

AI shakes up management too. How to support teams through the transition, lift worries, set a clear usage frame and give meaning? The talk sheds light on managers' pivotal role in the success — or failure — of this transformation.

05

Ethics & meaning

Keeping humans at the centre: judgement, responsibility, transparency, quality of working life. Beyond the technical, the talk reminds us that AI usage choices are first human and collective ones, engaging the company's culture.

06

Getting moving

Concrete first steps for the organisation and for each person: experiment, train, share good practice, open a dialogue. The talk closes on a mobilising, resolutely optimistic dynamic of adaptation.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Will AI destroy jobs?
The talk gives a nuanced, evidence-based answer: AI transforms jobs more than it abruptly destroys them. It automates certain tasks, brings new skills to the fore and shifts value from one function to another. The central question is therefore not the disappearance of work, but its rapid transformation — and the ability of each person and the organisation to adapt.
Is this talk anxiety-inducing?
No, quite the opposite. The goal is to replace diffuse fear with a lucid understanding and a concrete roadmap. The tone is mobilising, never catastrophist: we look difficulties in the eye, but always to draw out courses of action. Participants leave reassured and equipped, rather than worried.
Is it suitable for a convention or annual meeting?
Perfectly. It is a unifying topic that speaks to all employees, whatever their role or seniority. The keynote is ideal as an opening or closing plenary, when the aim is to bring everyone together around a shared message, give meaning to the transformation and create collective momentum.
