Which skills do you need to stay relevant as AI takes over an increasing number of tasks? Remy Gieling answers that question in this keynote with concrete insights based on the AI Skills Report 2026 and experience with hundreds of organizations. It is no longer about "being able to use ChatGPT a little" — in 2026, capabilities such as agent orchestration, prompt engineering, AI workflow design, and an innovation mindset are becoming the new baseline competencies for every knowledge worker.

Remy distinguishes between three levels: AI literacy (understanding what AI can do), AI fluency (working effectively with AI tools on a daily basis), and AI mastery (building and orchestrating AI agents). For each role and function, he shows which level is required and how to get there — with practical learning paths for marketing, finance, HR, operations, and IT. He also addresses Article 4 of the EU AI Act, which requires organizations to provide AI training. What does that obligation actually entail, and how do you comply without turning it into a box-ticking exercise?

The keynote is packed with cases from organizations leading the way. From national tax authorities and BCG to McKinsey: how are they building an AI-skilled organizational culture that does not depend on a single training program but continuously evolves? You will learn which skills are rising fastest in value, which traditional capabilities become even more important because of AI, and how your team can make the difference between AI as a novelty and AI as a strategic advantage.

This is the keynote for HR directors, L&D managers, works councils, and executives looking to future-proof their organization. Remy Gieling translates the latest insights from Silicon Valley and his own practice at ai.nl and The Automation Group into a clear action plan — so you can start on Monday.
