We’ve been sold the dream: AI will save us time, boost productivity, maybe even think for us. In reality, most of us are still flailing, typing vague prompts and crossing our fingers for genius. For HR leaders, the stakes are higher. You’re juggling requests, emotional labour, compliance, and constant “quick favour” messages. AI shouldn’t be another thing on your plate – it should give you time, focus, and energy back, helping you work wisely and protect yourself and your teams from burnout. Dr Amantha Imber (organisational psychologist, founder of Inventium.ai, and 2025 AI Consultant of the Year) isn’t here to talk at you about technology. She’s here to talk about you: how your brain works, where you’re stuck, and how to partner with AI to design better workflows, reduce overload, and free you up for the deep, human HR work that matters.
