AI & HR: Before We Lead, We Learn

February 4, 2026

2:00 ET

Before HR can lead the organization through AI transformation, we need to address what this technology means for our own work, wellbeing, and professional identity. This interactive roundtable creates a judgment-free space for HR professionals across all disciplines to explore their own relationship with AI—from excitement to anxiety—and discover practical, low-risk ways AI can ease daily workload pressures. We’ll start with where we are, learn what we need to know, and leave with concrete tools that support HR’s capacity before adding to our plates. Because you can’t pour from an empty cup, and you can’t guide others through change you haven’t processed yourself.

Key Takeaways:

• Normalizing the full spectrum of emotions HR professionals experience around AI adoption, from curiosity and excitement to uncertainty and concern about professional identity
• Understanding AI fundamentals including the difference between traditional and generative AI and what these technologies can and cannot do in today’s workplace
• Recognizing that HR’s capacity crisis and emotional readiness must be addressed before taking on organization-wide AI leadership responsibilities
• Identifying high-drain, time-consuming tasks in your specific HR discipline where AI tools offer immediate, practical relief
• Exploring discipline-specific AI applications across talent acquisition, employee relations, learning and development, inclusivity initiatives, and total rewards that reduce administrative burden without compromising quality
