Episode 47: The genie is out of the bottle – Business Psychology in the age of AI, with Alan Bourne, Dexter Winters and Kate Young
Episode 47
Saturday, 19 July, 2025
In an engaging discussion hosted by Rob Feltham, three eminent business psychologists working at the frontiers of AI share their perspectives on how the profession can remain impactful and relevant in a world of work rapidly being transformed. The conversation starts with a macro view of AI at work, and the role of psychologists in helping organisations design and implement their AI strategies. Then the discussion moves on to look specifically at the reshaped world of psychometric assessment. Issues discussed include: the far reaching disruptive effects of generative AI and how well organisations are adapting; the future of competency and capability models; reenvisioning entry level roles; augmentation versus replacement of human job roles; AI as a potential game-changer for equality and diversity/neurodiversity; the AI empowered job candidate; validity and integrity of the assessment process; and the ABP’s current initiative to develop AI guidance for the profession. Alan Bourne is a Partner at Ommati and leads their talent consulting, research and advisory services. Dexter Winters is a Partner at The Thinkstitute, leading AI Business Transformation by putting people at the heart of adoption through leadership, culture, and capability. Kate Young is head of people science at Sapia.ai. Sappia is an AI hiring agent. Rob Feltham is Podcast Editor for the ABP.
