AI is accelerating the speed of work like never before. The tools promise acceleration, the expectations rise to meet them, and decisions that used to take a week now take an afternoon - sometimes without anyone checking whether they got better or just quicker.

Cara Moyer is a social-organizational psychologist at Airbnb who studies what happens to people, and to their judgment, when the pressure to move faster never lets up.

This session treats a decision as something with a designed shape: who is in it, what gets surfaced and when, and where ambiguity creates opportunities for change and innovation. You will leave having redesigned one decision and pathways for how to create more choice intentionally as the world accelerates.
