HITEC Live! Workforce of the Future: Technology, Humanity, and AI

Join Alex Madrigal as he explores how rapid technological innovation – particularly artificial intelligence – is reshaping the skills and mindsets needed for career success. Drawing on his personal journey from Costa Rica and his dynamic career at Oracle, IBM and Kyndryl, Alex will highlight the critical importance of adaptability, curiosity, and lifelong learning for professionals at every stage. He will discuss how to thrive in a world where many future roles have yet to be defined, why embracing change is essential, and how leveraging AI as a tool can create new opportunities rather than threats. The session will also examine the intersection of technology and humanity, with a special emphasis on how Hispanic culture and heritage foster creativity, ambition, innovation, and problem-solving in the modern workplace. Real-life examples from Kyndryl – the world's largest IT infrastructure services provider – will illustrate these themes and foster meaningful dialogue during an interactive and thought-provoking fireside chat that offers actionable insights for HITEC members and Kyndryl colleagues committed to shaping the workforce of the future.
