Welcome Remarks | Opening General Session

Overview

AI is moving fast. Tools like ChatGPT and Copilot are already transforming how we work, communicate, and make decisions. But as these systems become more powerful, one critical question emerges: Are they aligned with our values? This keynote explores the AI alignment problem—what happens when the goals of AI systems don’t fully match the human intentions behind them. For payroll professionals, this isn’t just a technical concern—it’s an ethical one.
