The new capabilities of AI bring a paradigm shift to human resource management. Where earlier automation targeted specific, routine tasks, AI's capacity for pattern recognition, natural language processing, and complex decision-making creates ripple effects across organizations, from entry-level positions to executive strategy. This transformation raises critical questions about human relevance. Which skills are still uniquely human, and what new skills are needed? How can upskilling of employees succeed when change is constant and ever more rapid?

For workforce planning, leaders must reimagine organizational design around human-AI partnerships, which requires a different approach to HR management. Educational systems face perhaps the greatest challenge: preparing students for careers that don't yet exist while maintaining foundational knowledge.

The path forward demands proactive adaptation rather than reactive response. We will discuss successful models and strategies.
