From Fear to Clarity: A Deep Dive into Agentic AI for HR


Agentic AI isn't just changing tools, it is changing roles, trust, and culture. In this session, Devin Hughes and Julius Soriano team up to tackle both sides of the equation: Devin explores the human and cultural fear driving resistance to AI, while Julius Soriano brings clarity to what Agentic AI actually means for HR and why HR professionals will be essential, not obsolete, in making it work. Walk away with a clearer mindset and a practical lens on what Agentic AI will really mean for the future of work.

In this session you will:

Understand the difference between AI as a tool versus AI as a teammate — and why that mindset shift changes everything about adoption.

Reframe the question from "what will AI take from me?" to "what will I be freed to do and what opportunities does AI create for me?"

Walk away with a practical lens for leading your team through the AI change curve with psychological safety, not just policy.

Identify the role HR and Leaders must play to ensure Agentic AI implementation succeeds not as a bystander, but as an essential architect of trust and adoption.


This session is not:

 – Another training session on prompts and how to use generative AI tools.

  Going to ignore the fear and the uncertainty around AI.
