Senior vice president for public policy at HR Policy Association; testified to Congress on workplace AI in 2026.
The path forward requires balance. AI should not be viewed solely as a cost-cutting mechanism, but as a catalyst for innovation, workforce development, and long-term value creation. When deployed to augment—rather than replace—human capability, AI can empower employees, strengthen organizations, and support more sustainable economic growth.
