If you’re headed to HR Tech 2025, there’s one topic you won’t be able to escape: AI.
From AI coaching and AI agents to gender bias research and recognition technology, this year’s agenda makes it clear — the future of HR is being reshaped by artificial intelligence. But as the excitement builds in Las Vegas, there’s a critical question every HR leader needs to answer: How do we use AI responsibly without losing the human element?
At Mitratech, we’ve been asking (and answering) that question for years. In fact, our work on Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) AI, which we recently shared at SHRM 2025, directly connects to the conversations that will dominate HR Tech this September.
Why Responsible AI Will Steal the Show at HR Tech
A quick scan of the HR Tech 2025 agenda reveals one clear trend: AI is touching every part of HR.
- Coaching and leadership development (Integrating AI Coaching into Your Organizational Culture)
- Inclusive hiring and bias reduction (The Myths Behind Gender Cognitive Skills)
- Leadership influence and political capital (The Power Play in the Age of AI)
- Employee engagement and recognition (Using Recognition Technology and AI to Power Engagement)
It’s not just about tools. It’s about transformation. But transformation without responsibility can create just as many problems as it solves.
The Human-in-the-Loop Advantage
Our SHRM 2025 presentation, Compliance, Chaos, and Collaboration: What We Learned from Building HR AI Tools with Humans in the Loop, explored exactly why human oversight is the cornerstone of trustworthy AI in HR. HITL means:
- Humans train AI with accurate, relevant inputs
- Humans review outputs for quality, bias, and accuracy
- Humans decide when AI should, and should not, be applied
At HR Tech, many sessions will show you what AI can do. HITL focuses on what AI should do, and ensures people stay at the center of decision-making.
Why This Matters for HR Tech Attendees
HR Tech isn’t just a showcase of the latest platforms. It’s a gathering of the people who will decide how AI shapes the workplace. Without strong human oversight, AI can:
- Amplify bias instead of removing it
- Make critical decisions without full context
- Diminish trust between HR and employees
With HITL, you can harness AI’s efficiency and scale without sacrificing fairness, compliance, or culture.
Critical Thinking: The Skill HR Tech Can’t Automate
One of the strongest messages from our SHRM session was simple: AI will answer questions. It’s our job to question the answers.
This is where critical thinking comes in — the skill AI can’t replace. As HR Tech 2025 explores AI in every context, from talent acquisition to retention, HR leaders must model what it looks like to think with AI, not just use it.
