Disrupt HR Birmingham took centre stage at the Birmingham AI Summit held at Aston University on 1st May, providing HR professionals with valuable insights on the transformative role artificial intelligence (AI) plays in the future of work. Featuring a lineup of industry thought leaders and HR experts, the event sparked discussions on AI’s potential to reshape employee engagement, recruitment, and people development.
Kul Mahay, organiser of the Human Centred Leadership Conference, was one of the event’s key speakers. He highlighted the critical role of HR leaders in embracing technological advancements while maintaining the human touch in the workplace.
“AI is changing how HR functions, but it’s important that we remember the human element in all of it. The future of HR lies in balancing technology with empathy and creativity. Disrupt HR at the Birmingham AI Summit demonstrated how we can combine both to build better workplaces,” said Kul Mahay.
Throughout the event, attendees participated in interactive lightning talks, which fostered creativity and innovation within the HR sector. The event concluded with key takeaways on how AI can enhance decision-making, improve employee experiences, and automate administrative tasks, providing HR leaders with the tools to adapt to the evolving landscape.
Jamie Keeling, Head of Solutions at My Staff Shop, shared his excitement about the event’s impact: “The Birmingham AI Summit was an incredible opportunity for HR professionals to engage with cutting-edge technology.
