Free event with HR and tech leaders from 8×8, Harmony and more examines how organizations can move from AI assistants to intelligent, human-centered workforces.

Most HR teams have tried AI. The hard part is redesigning work so people and AI agents each do what they do best, with the proper oversight. This summit shares practical lessons from leaders doing it.”

— Rukhsar Bhatti – Head of Operations

SHERIDAN, WY, UNITED STATES, October 14, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — HR teams are adopting AI quickly, but many are still working out what to do with it. Gartner surveys of HR leaders show that generative AI adoption in HR rose from 19% in 2023 to 61% in 2025, and Gartner projects that half of today’s HR activities will be automated or handled by AI agents by 2030. Tomorrow, TechSommet’s virtual summit, supported by Harmony, the AI platform that resolves employee requests directly inside Slack and Microsoft Teams, will examine how organizations can turn that momentum into meaningful transformation across the employee and talent lifecycle.

From assistants to agents in the workplace

HR is moving beyond chatbots and copilots toward AI agents that can execute tasks, manage workflows and support decisions across HR and enterprise functions. That shift raises practical questions about governance, skills, trust and employee experience. Deloitte’s 2026 Global Human Capital Trends research, based on more than 9,000 leaders, found that only about 7% of organizations say they lead at deliberately designing how humans and AI work together.

What the summit will cover

Moderated by Erica Chisolm, Founder & Principal and Certified AI Consultant at Essential Business Connections, the discussion will bring together HR executives, HR technology strategists and AI innovators to look at:

– Agentic AI in HR: moving from assistance to action across HR workflows
– Employee experience: using AI and intelligent automation to make work more personalized and human-centered
– Talent and skills: AI in talent acquisition, skills and workforce intelligence, internal mobility and learning and development
– Responsible AI: governance, privacy, ethics and human oversight in HR decisions
– Becoming AI-ready: adoption, change management, workforce planning and measuring ROI
