AI agents are storming the gates of HR, but are we ready to be a little hands off? Weren't we supposed to be "hands-on" and "human in the loop"?

Last week at Workday Rising included the expected barrage of AI-powered agent capabilities, with Workday Illuminate leading the charge. This aligns with a growing sentiment among HR leaders that time saving is the first big area of ROI, In face one recent study by EmploymentHero said that 52% believe AI's biggest payoff will come from time savings.

But as we rush to embrace these digital helpers, are we fully considering the implications?

The agent-craze isn't limited to HR shores. Salesforce's Dreamforce Conference echoed this shift, emphasizing autonomous AI decision-making across industries.

As vendors push for "hands-off" AI solutions, we're left wondering: are we sacrificing human insight for algorithmic efficiency?

HR executives, it's time to reflect. How will you balance the allure of AI-driven productivity with the nuanced, human-centric nature of your role? As we stand at this crossroads, your approach to integrating AI could redefine the future of work itself.

Yours in AI,
