PANEL: Agentic AI in HR: Blending Efficiency, Intelligence, and Creativity

GenAI, and more specifically Agentic AI, is transforming the way we work, create, and deliver value to our people and organizations. HR is uniquely positioned to benefit from this revolution: AI can significantly streamline repeatable tasks, deliver critical information to different cohorts or individuals simultaneously, facilitate bespoke training and learning, and provide interactive support for navigating professional development opportunities. With the pace of innovation accelerating the clock is ticking to ramp up beyond first order use cases, and successful implementation can establish your department as a center of thought leadership for the entire organization.  

This Session will Examine:

• Laying the Groundwork for Agentic AI: How to prepare infrastructure, data environments, and governance frameworks to support the move from passive GenAI to agentic, outcome-driven systems.
• Beyond First-Order Use Cases: While accelerating communication and automating content are important, real transformation comes from deploying AI to manage workflows, surface insights, and take proactive actions on behalf of the business.
• AI as a Business Orchestrator: How Agentic AI tools can function as integrated command centers across systems, enhancing cross-functional intelligence, accelerating decisions, and optimizing operations — along with the political and cultural navigation required to lead such shifts.
• Sustainable Efficiency & Workforce Enablement: Moving beyond headcount reduction to using AI to reduce waste, improve flow, free human potential, and build intelligent processes that scale with less friction.
• From Insights to Foresight: Why GenAI may finally unlock the long-promised potential of predictive analytics — helping organizations close skills gaps, identify future capacity needs, and align strategy with workforce readiness.
• The Ethical Architecture of Agentic Systems: As AI moves from assisting to acting, the stakes get higher. How to build transparent, controlled, and auditable AI environments that inspire trust and protect people.
