Artificial intelligence is transforming the employee experience and redefining the role of HR in shaping the next era of work. In this panel discussion you will explore the profound implications of AI across jobs, culture, and leadership, including how AI is automating tasks while creating new roles and capabilities, and how HR leaders can balance efficiency with humanity by ensuring people remain at the center of AI powered organizations. You will also address critical challenges such as algorithmic bias, data privacy, and trust in AI systems, while examining the evolving role of HR in equipping employees with future ready skills and building a culture of continuous learning. This discussion will further consider how organizations can sustain morale, inclusion, and employee well-being in an AI augmented workplace, and how HR leaders can embrace AI as a catalyst for innovation, culture, and sustainable organizational growth.

The AI Demo Expo is an executive-level experience designed to give CHROs a forward-looking perspective on how artificial intelligence is transforming human resources and broader business operations. Through guided demonstrations, you will explore how AI is reshaping the employee lifecycle from hiring and onboarding to development, performance, and ongoing support while unlocking new levels of efficiency, personalization, and insight across HR functions. Presented in an interactive booth format, the Expo offers a rare opportunity to see these innovations in action, engage directly with experts, and consider how similar capabilities could be applied within your own organizations. More than a showcase, this experience is designed to inspire exploration, foster dialogue, and provide a practical lens on the transformative potential of AI to elevate both employee experience and organizational effectiveness at scale.

These interactive discussions offer HR leaders the opportunity to engage in a focused, small-group conversation, choosing from one of three critical topics shaping the future of work. One conversation will explore how to build and sustain an inspired, high-performing culture at scale, leveraging proven leadership practices, decision-making frameworks, and cultural mechanisms that drive innovation. Another conversation will focus on training and reskilling strategies, including how AI can accelerate learning and strengthen workforce capabilities for the future. A final conversation will showcase practical approaches to enhancing the employee lifecycle using advanced AI tools, from recruitment to development to retention. Each in-depth discussion will be led by an Amazon expert, offering you actionable insights, peer exchange, and practical approaches you can bring back to your organization.
