People not paperwork

Curious about AI but not sure where to begin? You’re not alone. In this session, Careen Redman (CEO) and Kimberley Burns (Chief Community Officer) from humaneer offer a grounded, practical introduction to Artificial Intelligence for HR and Talent teams. You’ll get a clear, no-jargon breakdown of what AI actually is, how it’s evolving, and why it’s reshaping work as we know it. The session explores both the opportunities and the risks — including bias, privacy, and the importance of keeping humans in the loop as adoption accelerates. Careen and Kimberley will also share simple, off-the-shelf tools you can start using right away to improve productivity, streamline HR workflows, and reimagine how People teams add value — without losing sight of what matters most: your people.
