AIX (AI Exchange) Shifts Focus to AI’s Impact on Employee Wellbeing, Readiness, and Performance

AIX (Artificial Intelligence Exchange), a dedicated community developed in partnership with HR.com, today announced a strategic shift to focus on AI’s impact on individual wellbeing, company culture, and readiness. AIX’s overarching goal is to bring together leaders, AI experts, and HR peers to exchange experiences and seek guidance on cultivating mentally resilient, emotionally intelligent, and professionally adaptable workforces in an AI-augmented world.

As organizations automate, optimize, and transform roles using AI, the real questions go well beyond the latest tools and hacks - they’re personal, behavioral, and cultural:

• How can organizations sustain employee wellbeing and engagement as AI accelerates the pace of work?

• What strategies help foster psychological safety and growth amid constant change?

• How can employees reimagine their value as traditional roles evolve?

• What soft skills will define leadership and employee success in the AI era?

• How can organizations prepare people for continuous learning and redefinition?

“AI will increasingly touch every corner of the employee experience—from hiring to training, from task management to team dynamics,” said Charles Epstein, AIX co-founder and Managing Director. “Its impact on employee well-being, readiness, engagement, and performance will be profound. Whether that impact is positive or harmful depends largely on how HR and leaders across the organization prepare for it. This begins by raising our individual and collective AIQs, which we define as knowing what questions to ask.”
