Profile:

Chibueze is a PhD student within the School of Information Management at Te Herenga Waka — Victoria University of Wellington. His research focuses on human-AI collaboration and employee creativity in the creative sector, examining how creative professionals can work effectively and flourish alongside AI. He explores the identity work that emerges as AI reshapes creative roles, boundaries of expertise, and the value placed on human contribution.

Professionally, Chibueze worked as a Human Resources practitioner for about 4 years where he gained first‑hand insight into how organizational policies and practices shape employee wellbeing and flourishing. This experience, combined with his grounding in policy analysis informs his research into how organizational structures and governance decisions enable or constrain creative workers in AI‑mediated environments.
