Agents here, agents there, agents everywhere.
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,

PS. The last newsletter came hot off the press after the launch of the new OpenAI models and having played for them for two weeks or so, I would say that for anything non-analytics related, you're probably not seeing a big change in the capabilities from 4o to 01-preview (how OpenAI name their models I do not know).
