What is HR bold enough to become?

In this episode of Starbold Signals, Jeremy Ames sits down with Enrique Rubio, founder of Hacking HR, for a provocative conversation about AI, technology, and the rapidly changing role of HR.

Enrique shares why he believes HR professionals are becoming builders -not just users of technology - and why the future will require HR to get exceptionally good at the things humans uniquely do while learning to orchestrate people, AI, and technology together.

But embracing AI also means owning its consequences.

Jeremy and Enrique explore the tension between innovation and responsibility, the need for stronger guardrails around AI, and why HR leaders have an obligation to speak up when technology creates risks for employees or society.

Ultimately, the conversation comes back to a bigger opportunity: using AI not simply to make HR faster or more efficient, but to elevate the human experience of work.

Can AI help create workplaces where people have more time for creativity, empathy, connection, meaning, and mastery of their craft?

That may be one of the biggest opportunities - and responsibilities - HR has ever faced.
