HR technology, every morning — wired to the companies and people behind it.
AI's role in reshaping—rather than replacing—work dominates today's HR-tech conversation, with Workday's new Global Workforce Report finding that AI is rewriting jobs more than cutting them, even as organizations debate whether the technology has truly become an HR priority.

Legal and compliance developments round out the day, as a transgender former EEOC employee wins the right to proceed with a bias lawsuit and Sirius XM successfully beats allegations of AI-fueled racial bias.
