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 real-world readiness and impact of AI across industries, examining how it’s being built, adopted, and humanized. Leaders from Amazon, AWS, BCG and Ribbon.ai will share how AI is automating routine tasks while creating new roles, skills, and ways of working. The conversation will address the cultural and ethical dimensions of AI, and how HR leaders can prepare their organizations for the future by fostering continuous learning, adaptability, and innovation. Ultimately this discussion will explore how AI can be harnessed not only as a force of efficiency, but as a catalyst for creativity, human potential, and sustainable 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 explore how Amazon is redefining the employee experience with AI in HR, using intelligent systems that understand context, anticipate employee needs, and complete actions to create seamless and more human workplace interactions. 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.
