Remember recent debate about who should be hiring robots? It raised a bigger question: how do we manage a workforce that blends human and Artificial Intelligence?

This scenario is closer than you think. At CES 2025, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang put it bluntly: “The IT department of every company will become the HR department of AI agents”. This isn’t just a bold tech prediction – it’s a snapshot of the near future.

Here’s why: modern IT teams excel at systems, and HR masters human potential. But AI agents need both. These your new Digital Colleagues will require robust technical infrastructure and human-like training and oversight – essentially, the blend of IT and HR expertise. That’s not a gap you fill with a single new hire; it calls for a whole new paradigm in workforce management. Imagine a “Chief AI Relations Officer” — someone dedicated to orchestrating the fusion of human and artificial brainpower.

Huang even highlighted NVIDIA’s own NeMo platform, which can onboard and train AI “employees”. At Foxtery, we’re already leveraging NeMo integration to help companies prepare their knowledge for the AI era.

Going forward, your company’s competitiveness might hinge on how well you transfer your hard-won expertise to AI agents. Start mapping your critical knowledge flows now – they’ll form the foundation of your AI-enhanced workforce tomorrow.

How are you preparing for this transformation?
