Leading with AI: Vol 16

Dear friends,

From Phoenix to Anaheim, we’re bringing AI for Good to the road!

Over the next few weeks, the Upwage team will be traveling across the country to share the message of our new book, AI for Good: How AI Can Transform Hiring (For Good)—how AI can empower recruiters, not replace them, and help build hiring systems that are faster, fairer, and more human. ⬇️ Read to the bottom and you’ll find a free copy just for you! 🎁 

If you’re attending any of the following events, we’d love to see you in person:

📍Upcoming Stops

If you’re not able to join us in person, we’re sharing the message in other ways with TA teams via our new 🎤 Lunch & Learns: How to Use AI for Good!

These are 45-minute team sessions for HR and TA leaders on how AI can empower human potential, not replace it. Here’s what attendees from our recent session shared:

“Your presentation was amazing. I was blown away by what AI can do. This is a game changer… I’ve gone from curious-but-skeptical to wanting to learn as much as possible.” — Senior HR Systems Administrator

“I loved how passionately you sounded—I could tell how much this really means to you. As someone who was anxious about AI in recruiting, it was such a relief to hear how it’s here to support us, not replace us.” — Sr. Manager, Employer Branding

If you’d like to host a Lunch & Learn for your team, just reply to this email and we’ll get it scheduled.
