Intentional AI in Compensation: How to Use AI You Can Actually Explain | A 30-Minute Fireside Chat
Thursday, 28th May 2026 at 5pm CET / 11am ET
Everyone is adding AI to their compensation stack. But when something goes wrong, can you explain why it happened?
Most AI tools weren't built for compensation. They were built for speed and scale — and in a domain where every decision touches someone's livelihood, that's not enough. The question isn't whether to use AI in compensation. It's whether you're using AI you can defend.
Join beqom's Dr. Julian Perez Alzueta, Head of AI and Analytics, and Dr. Sébastien Baehni, CTO, for a 30-minute conversation on what Intentional AI actually means in practice — and how to implement it without losing control of the decisions that matter most.
What you will learn:
- Why generic, black-box AI creates real legal and reputational risk in compensation — and what to use instead.
- The three modes of Intentional AI and how they work together: agentic AI, ML modeling, and rule-based systems.
- Where humans must stay in control — and how to build those touchpoints before something goes wrong.
- How to move from an AI system of record to a system of intelligence — without outpacing your governance.
- Practical steps to start building a compensation AI strategy you can explain to managers, employees, and regulators.

France — Gender Equality Index
France’s current pay gap reporting requirement was introduced in 2018 and rolled out gradually. The required report (Index de l’égalité professionnelle femmes-hommes) is known as the “gender equality index” in English.
