Great to be back on the BBC sofa today to discuss one of the hottest topics in HR right now - how businesses should harness AI. What are your thoughts?

Our CEO @peter__done says “I’ve been a @ManUtd fan since I was 11, #GeorgeBest was my idol. I’ve seen all the great teams, the legendary players, and there'll never be another. We only remember the football. 20 years may have passed but Georgie will never be forgotten.” #RIP
