MeBeBot Presents

Humanity in AI Awards

Recognizing HR and IT leaders who prove that AI and exceptional employee experiences are the same thing.

Nominations open May 26, 2026  ·  Close June 20, 2026

Trusted by global leaders, supporting employees in over 50 countries

AI that serves people deserves to be celebrated.

Too many AI deployments optimize for efficiency and forget the humans on the other end. The Human Edge Awards exist to change that narrative — to find the leaders and teams who are getting it right.

MeBeBot is recognizing 9 professionals who are building AI-powered workplaces where employees feel more empowered, not more anxious. Where technology reduces friction instead of creating it.

Nominations take about 6 minutes. Winners and finalists are announced in July 2026 at our virtual ceremony and featured on MeBeBot's blog and LinkedIn.

Career Icon

AI Trust & Governance
