As AI moves from experimentation to enterprise-wide deployment, a profound shift is underway: intelligence is no longer confined to screens, models, or cloud systems, it is becoming embedded in the people who do the work and, in the tools, and physical interfaces they rely on every day. This transition marks the rise of AI-augmented humans as the next strategic platform for work, transforming individual performance and reshaping enterprise competitiveness.

This talk explores the evolution of intelligent wearables and augmenting interfaces and highlights their convergence with emerging AI-agent capabilities. Drawing from both technical development and real-world deployments across industries, this session shares lessons on what accelerates or undermines adoption, and offers practical, human-centered frameworks for designing AI systems that scale with people rather than against them.
