Open for Ops NYC 2026 Session: AI that actually works: Real experiments, real trade‑offs

Instead of “AI everywhere,” this session focuses on specific, real‑world AI experiments RecOps teams have run – where they saw impact, where things broke and how they chose a few high‑leverage bets instead of chasing every new AI feature.

What we cover:

• Concrete examples of AI pilots across sourcing, screening, scheduling, interview intelligence, fraud/spam and reporting and what it looked like in practice to roll them out across an org with high adoption.
• How teams evaluated impact, risk and change‑management effort to decide what to scale, pause or kill.
• A simple framework to identify 2–3 “big bet” AI moments in your own funnel, rather than sprinkling AI everywhere.
