Comment by Ryan Birbal

Human avatar
Senior vice president for public policy at HR Policy Association; testified to Congress on workplace AI in 2026.
In human resources, AI is most effective when it augments—rather than replaces—human judgment and engagement. Employers are using AI throughout the hiring process to source candidates, analyze qualifications, and make more informed decisions.
