Summary
Stephan Weitz opens HumanX 2026 by arguing that leaders are operating in “speed in fog”: AI investment, capability shifts, layoffs, and regulation are accelerating faster than organizations can control. Instead of seeking certainty or bolting AI onto old workflows, he urges attendees to ask what they would build from scratch if AI had existed from the beginning.
