Why HR is the highest leverage AI function in 2026

The single largest AI capability gap in the UAE and Africa is not in IT or operations, it is in HR. CHROs are asked to lead AI literacy, AI governance for workforce policy, AI driven talent strategy and AI augmented L&D simultaneously, with no precedent and limited internal expertise. The AltaFuturis AI Strategy and Digital Innovation for HR Professionals MasterClass is the only program in this region purpose built for that brief.

What the 3 day MasterClass covers

Day 1 covers Generative AI fundamentals for HR, AI in talent acquisition, AI in performance and rewards, and AI in L&D. Day 2 covers AI governance for HR, responsible AI in workforce decisions, bias and fairness, and the AI driven HR operating model. Day 3 covers the 90 day AI HR roadmap, AI augmented coaching, agentic AI patterns in HR service delivery, and a personalised AI HR playbook for each participant.

Who should attend

CHROs, HR Directors, Heads of Talent, Heads of L&D, Heads of Reward, Heads of HR Business Partnering, Heads of People Analytics, and Heads of Workforce Planning in mid market and enterprise organisations across the UAE, Nigeria, Kenya, Tanzania and Ethiopia.

The AI Strategy and Digital Innovation for HR Professionals MasterClass runs Virtual from 16 to 18 July 2026, 4 hours per day. Pricing is USD 800 per seat Online and USD 1200 per seat Onsite. Corporate cohorts available on request.
