How AI Is Freeing HR to Be More Strategic - Live at Transform 2026

In this special live episode of the Future Proof HR podcast, recorded on the floor at Transform 2026 in Las Vegas, Thomas Kunjappu sat down with Laura Brittingham, SVP of People at Prove, for a candid conversation about what AI actually looks like in practice for a scaling HR team and what it means for the function's strategic future.Prove is a leading provider of identity verification and authentication solutions, trusted by 19 of the top 20 US banks and 1,500 top brands globally. Laura joined less than a year ago with no background in identity, and she's been using that fresh perspective to rethink how HR can drive clarity, speed, and scale across the business.They got into how Laura is using AI to compress a months-long org design effort into seconds, why her mission this year is to make every employee an expert on Prove's products and industry, and why HR leaders who lean into building with agentic tools will define what the function looks like next.Topics Discussed:Using AI to build a company-wide remit directory and bring clarity to 200 unique job titlesWhy faster processing opens up space for strategic thinking, not just task completionThe case for AI-powered L&D content to make every employee a product and industry expertWhy the answer to "replace headcount with AI" is to 10x impact insteadHR is a strategic arm of the business, not just a compliance and payroll functionWhat it means to turn HR teams into builders using agentic toolsAdditional Resources:Cleary's AI-powered HR ChatbotFuture Proof HR CommunityConnect with Laura Brittingham on LinkedIn
