Fiona Passantino — Why HR Must Lead AI Integration: AI Literacy, Training & the Human-Led Roadmap

AI isn’t a tool — it’s a new kind of employee. Fiona Passantino explains why AI integration belongs to HR, not IT.

Award-winning author of AI-Powered Leader and creator of the AI Integration Roadmap, Fiona makes the case that failed AI adoption is usually a training, governance, and leadership gap — not ”resistance.” With Aidan McCullen she covers mapping your adoption curve, baseline AI literacy and the EU AI Act, turning early adopters into a coaching centre of excellence, bringing ”hell no” holdouts over the line without splitting the organisation, phased L&D for departments and desk-less workers, and her ostrich-to-eagle roadmap for joyful, human-led AI.
