The Human Backlog: When AI Agents Start Waiting on Us

What happens when AI agents can complete work faster than humans can review, approve, and manage it? As AI shifts from assisting employees to executing work on their behalf, we're heading toward a workplace where everyone becomes a manager of agents. But our leadership practices, organizational structures, and decision-making processes aren't designed for this new reality. The "human-in-the-loop" may soon become the "human-backlog". This forward-looking session explores the next productivity paradox, the changing role of human leadership, and why unlocking AI's potential will require more than better technology. It will require fundamentally rethinking how humans and intelligent agents work together.
