| Autopilot, Agents and the Manager Problem | 25 Oct 2026 | 00:19:31 | |
Autopilot, Agents and the Manager Problem Workday Rising, SAP's "automation is the foundation", Oracle and ServiceNow agents, and the case that AI finally turns HR data access into manager empowerment. Episode summary. Every vendor now sells autonomous agents, governance and a new "front door". In this episode of EXLabs: Noise to Signal, Volker and AI co-host Elena separate what was announced from what has been shown and what is only claimed: Workday Rising (Sana, Autopilot Agents, the C1.ai acquisition and a sceptical analyst verdict), SAP's Autonomous HCM update, Oracle's seven new HR agents, ServiceNow Arc, agents on the org chart at isolved, a Jabra study on AI and workload, Firstwork's funding round, and what the EU's AI Act delay means for HR. Deep dive: from access to empowerment. In the 2010s, HR freed the data and managers saw homework. Now AI can turn access into sense-making and in-the-flow coaching. What does it take to build it right: grounded in your policies, costed, and agreed with your works council from day one? Related episode. From the Workbook of an HR Leader: Athena Karp, on Workday's Agent System of Record and the shift from CHRO to Chief Work Officer. Chapters (estimated, adjust after editing)
