AI is already handling onboarding, records and check-ins across HR teams. But most conversations stop at automation, not at what AI is actually changing about the size, shape, and skills of the people org itself.

Which raises the real question this conversation sits on:

If AI can't sit through a tough conversation, what exactly is it delivering?

88% of HR leaders

say their AI tools have not delivered real business value

Gartner, 2025

Get the real story on where AI is taking over HR work, how teams are spotting problems before they happen, and what flatter orgs mean for the CHRO.

What you'll learn from this session:

See which HR operations tasks are already automated and which ones still need a person

Understand why more teams are running engagement surveys before problems show up, not after

Learn how to measure performance when there are fewer managers to do it

Hear a straight answer on whether AI has eliminated real work in HR, or is still mostly hype
