🤝 The Soul of the Machine: How Atlassian Is Defining Who We Are in the Age of AI **

You bought or built the AI tools. You deployed them. So why are leaders still asking where the value is?

Here's the reveal: the soul of the machine is human. A model is just math until a person points it at a problem worth solving and decides what to do with the answer. Technology decides what's possible—people decide what actually happens. Miss that, and you get a very expensive summary of a meeting nobody needed.

Jessica Swetin, VP of Inclusion & AI Ethics at Atlassian, has lived this transformation from the inside—and she's bringing the receipts. This talk cuts straight to the human foundations AI actually runs on: psychological safety, recognition that rewards experimentation over exhaustion, and leaders willing to go first. She'll hand you the Rewiring Diagnostic—three questions that expose exactly where your foundation is cracking—and back every claim with real results and the research she’s still figuring out in public.

The most hopeful part? The best version of this future isn't AI helping the people who are already ahead pull further ahead. It's AI widening who gets to build at all, closing gaps we've struggled to close for years, led by the people closest to the problem. Someone in your organization is about to decide which future you get. Come find out why it should be you.
