Agentic AI is emerging as a defining theme in HR technology today, with UKG unveiling voice-enabled AI and "Agentic Pay" tools for frontline workers, PwC detailing how CHROs are redesigning HR operations around the technology, and experts in the UAE signaling its broader impact on workplace decisions.

Regulatory and equity tensions are sharpening in parallel: a California bill would ban AI tools that read employee emotions, iCIMS research finds workers are self-teaching AI skills faster than employers are training them, and new Gusto findings suggest small businesses that adopted AI are hiring faster.
