Legendary Arianna Huffington, the founder of The Huffington Post, was the keynote speaker at HR Tech World 2017. She shared her vision on the future of work and on the impact of HR technologies on society further on.

Peter Hinssen, the Co-Founder of Nexxworks and one of the world's opinion leaders on subversive innovations told us about the importance of working with the big data: companies have terabytes of information not only about their clients, but about employees and applicants as well. Peter advices HRs to follow the example of their marketing colleagues and to value the information, to use it more effectively while searching for talents and motivating employees.

Bersin by Deloitte principal Josh Bersin shared his vision on transforming of the HR market. Over the past three years, a complete reinvention has transformed the entire marketplace for HR software, platforms, and tools. While cloud-based systems have been replacing legacy software, a new industry of tools for team management, agile performance management, digital learning, cognitive recruiting, and productivity improvement has quickly expanded. These new systems, built in a new "digital HR architecture," are redefining how HR and IT teams should think about technology. It is important to remember about improving the methods of management and staff development – they need to be more flexible. Corporate culture, employees' involvement and the certain set of values are the priority aspects, which are worth paying attention to and constantly working on them.

Nick Bostrom, Oxford philosopher, the Founding Director Future of Humanity Institute, says that "sentient machines are a greater threat to humanity than climate change". He is remembered by his hypothesis of the Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence impact on company employees and the importance of preserving the human values while using modern technologies.
