HR, We Have a Problem - The agentic workforce is here and these are the questions HR leaders must ask before it goes rogue.

Episode notes

In this episode of HR, We Have a Problem, Cliff Stenvenson and guest Sudeep Cherian, VP Product Marketing at Cornerstone dig into what it actually means to bring agentic AI into the workforce technology stack. Sudeep walks through how Cornerstone's updated platform architecture layers a context graph and pre-built agents on top of the learning, talent, and skills infrastructure customers already use, giving those capabilities more workforce context to work with. The conversation gets into the accountability questions that come with agentic workflows - including who owns the decisions these systems make, where humans need to stay in the loop, and why HR is better positioned than most to answer those questions. Key points covered include: ↪️ Cornerstone's Galaxy architecture has evolved to include a context graph and skills engine that give the platform more understanding of the workforce, making existing capabilities more useful rather than replacing them. ↪️ HR leaders need to be asking the right questions about AI agents before deployment, including who is accountable for decisions, whether there is traceability, and where a human needs to stay in the loop.
