Aimee Pedretti
Aimee Pedretti, GPHR, SHRM-SCP, is Principal AI Transformation Expert at Mitratech, where she brings deep HR expertise directly into AI product development. She previously built and led the Futures Team at Mineral (now part of Mitratech), and is a futurist working at the intersection of AI, HR, and organizational transformation.
AI Answers Questions, Our Job Is to Question the Answers
Aimee's clearest lesson from building Mitratech's AI tools is that HR needs to be embedded in AI projects from the beginning, not brought in at the end as reviewers. Getting genuinely curious about how the technical team thinks, in her experience, is what lets HR advocate for its needs in language engineers actually respond to, building credibility rather than friction. She and colleague Susan Anderson coined what's become something of a motto inside Mitratech's engineering team: "AI answers questions. Our job is to question the answers," a reminder that LLMs can draft and pattern-match but can't weigh ethical tradeoffs or read a room the way a human still needs to. She's equally focused on strategic foresight, helping HR leaders build the mindset and methods to think creatively about the future rather than just react to it.
