Beyond the Bot: Practical AI for Modern HR
Featuring Amanda Van Den Elzen
Amanda will show how to use AI tools and resources to support roles in HR. She will focus on 3 areas: word smithing and drafting policies, finding answers through research and brainstorming, and using the multi-model aspect of HR to analyze data. Best practices around risk, compliance, and intellectual property will be included in this hands-on workshop.
