Summary
In this episode of the HR Leaders Podcast, we sit down with Vincent Dupuis , Vice President HR Digital & AI at Airbus , to unpack how organizations should decide what to automate, what to augment, and what must be protected as AI reshapes work at scale. Vincent explains why augmentation, not replacement, is the real story of AI at work, using powerful analogies to show how AI should extend human capability, not hollow it out. He breaks down how Airbus thinks about freeing people from low value tasks, while deliberately protecting deep expertise, critical thinking, and safety critical knowledge. Most importantly, he shares why ethical governance, human in the loop learning, and robust knowledge roots are non negotiable in environments where quality, trust, and safety define success. 🎓 In this episode, Vincent discusses: How automation should free time for higher value human work Why augmentation beats replacement as the dominant AI model How Airbus embeds ethical AI governance before access is granted Why protecting deep expertise and critical thinking is essential for safety How Airbus decides which work should be augmented, automated, or protected 🙏 Thank you to our series partner - atlas copilot Meet the AI-native adaptive learning platform that builds the course, teaches the skill, and proves the impact, while work is happening, not weeks later → https://www.atlascopilot.com/ See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .
