Ryan Birbal

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.

Ban fully automated hiring decisions without human review

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.
