The professional body for HR

Roundtable: AI is no longer theoretical for HR – it’s becoming operational, measurable and accountable.

Following November’s Tech Savvy HR Professional conference, one message came through clearly: AI is no longer theoretical for HR – it’s becoming operational, measurable and accountable.

Hosted by Hannah Mahon and Rebecca Denvers, Eversheds Sutherland, you are invited to a closed roundtable for our AI Special Interest Group to move the conversation forward and test what this means in practice for HR professionals in Financial Services.

Joined by Helen Farr, Taylor Wessings, and colleagues from Cambridge Spark, this will be a candid, peer-led discussion with three key questions that could aid shaping the next phase of HR’s relationship with AI:

  1. What AI priorities are genuinely on your 2026 to-do list – and which ones are proving hardest to progress?
  2. What pressure are HR teams facing around KPIs, efficiency gains and proof of value from AI implementation?
  3. What role could Authentic Intelligence play in the future credibility, capability and judgement of the HR profession?

This is not a showcase or a briefing. It’s a working session designed to:

  • Surface what’s really happening inside HR functions now
  • Share where progress is stalling (and why)
  • Inform practical guidance to help HR navigate the next stage of AI adoption with confidence
