AI won’t replace 90% of what a strong people analytics team delivers. But what exactly is in that 90%—and how long will it stay out of reach? Roxanne Laczo (Head of People Analytics at Cloudflare), Cole Napper (VP of Research, Innovation & Talent Insights at Lightcast), and Noelle London (Founder and CEO of Illoominus) join David for a grounded roundtable on what AI can and can’t do in HR today.
This isn’t a breathless tour of shiny tools. It’s a candid look at the real dynamics reshaping the people analytics function: the transactional work being automated, the strategic work that still demands human context, and the business acumen gap that could soon define who stays relevant—and who doesn’t.
