As AI rapidly reshapes the research industry, much of the conversation focuses on tools and efficiency — but far less attention is paid to the human and cultural change required to make AI work in practice.

In this session, Linh will share her experience leading a large research team through AI-driven transformation. We’ll explore what leadership looks like during periods of uncertainty, how to navigate resistance from experienced researchers, and how teams can adopt AI without losing craft, confidence or qualitative depth. You’ll leave with a more honest and practical perspective on leading research through change.
