AI PEOPLE Transformation, Building the Human Operating System for Intelligent Energy

In her session, “AI PEOPLE Transformation, Building the Human Operating System for Intelligent Energy,” Sonia Clayton explores why successful AI adoption requires more than implementing new technologies. The discussion examines the importance of leadership, trust, organizational culture, and workforce readiness in creating an environment where AI and digital transformation can deliver sustainable results. It also addresses how oil and gas organizations can reskill and upskill their workforce, use organizational change management to move from resistance to readiness, and prepare employees for increasingly intelligent operations. The session further explores the transition from Industry 4.0 to Industry 5.0, emphasizing the need to balance advanced technology with human-centric leadership, collaboration, and sustainable workforce development.
