AI, Trust, and the Future of HR: Can People-Centricity Survive the Algorithm?

HR is being asked to deliver more with less ie boost productivity, reduce complexity, and embrace AI across every touchpoint. But with these demands come profound human challenges. Some are totally unique to the new age of AI we are now living in. New data reveals that more than half of employees trust AI more than HR, citing greater fairness and transparency in its decisions. As automation takes hold, how can HR regain trust and deliver a more human-centric workplace?

This panel dives into the real barriers to responsible AI adoption not just the technical ones, but people ones. We’ll unpack how HR teams can navigate fear of displacement, AI literacy gaps, ethical risks and cultural resistance while still transforming roles, workflows and employee experience platforms to meet new expectations. Leaders from across the HR ecosystem will explore what it means to redesign for empowerment, not just efficiency. From talent and learning to engagement and workforce design, we’ll break down what AI means for each function—and how to protect the humanity that keeps work meaningful.
