[Online, EN] AI Agents in HR: What Works at Scale

Event Details

As AI moves into enterprise-wide adoption, HR is becoming a key driver of transformation. AI agents, in particular, are reshaping how organizations hire, develop, engage, and support talent—enabling more personalized, scalable, and data-driven HR practices.

This session, organized by the HR Committee of AmCham China, will be led by Larry Emond, who has built and led one of the world's largest CHRO communities. Over the past decade, Larry Emond has convened more than 350 CHRO gatherings. In recent years, these discussions have focused heavily on AI in HR, with a particular emphasis on the rapid adoption of AI agents across leading global companies.

In this session, Larry Emond will provide a curated overview of some of the most effective AI agents currently in use, including live demonstrations and real-world use cases from leading organizations. Participants will be introduced to a range of agents, including Nadia (a multidimensional AI coach), Nova (a mental health coach), Atlas (a personalized learning agent), Amber (an employee listening agent), Syndi (a compensation agent), Cuido (a benefits agent), and Sapia (a suite of hiring agents), with additional examples as new solutions continue to emerge.

All featured solutions are proven in large, global organizations and support multiple languages, including Mandarin.
