As a meeting facilitator your strength lies in the interpersonal work: reading the room, steering the dynamic and landing decisions together with people. Much of the support work around the meeting, such as the agenda, minutes and summary, is now quickly being taken over by AI. Leading the conversation itself and building genuine agreement remains a human task.
Screen / desk work
Much of the preparation and follow up for a meeting happens on a screen, and digital meetings take place entirely there. It is precisely this administrative layer, such as agenda, minutes and follow up, that AI takes over fastest. The live facilitation itself is still screen independent.
