AI for HR

Use AI to support and develop a successful workforce

Artificial Intelligence. The very words conjure up images of robots
taking over the world. And, after all the science-fiction movies over
the last forty to fifty years or so, of course it would. We’ve long been
fascinated with the idea that a robot can be like a human; that a
robot can perform human tasks. But, when you look back to the
early years of robotics, the thought of a ‘thing’ having any type of
artificial, human-like intelligence seemed like a dream for far into the
future.
Today, those dreams are now a reality. Although still in its early
stages, artificial intelligence as it relates to employees and the work
we do is quickly becoming something that human resources leaders
need to be aware of and educated about. This adds to the ongoing
arsenal of tools and topics that HR is responsible for. Do you remember
10 years ago when this thing called ‘social media’ was new and
something we all had to learn from a business perspective? It seemed
very scary because of all the unknown factors. We quickly got up to
speed, researched and wrote policies and procedures to prepare.
Transparently, we also failed on some, rewrote them and reexamined
our approaches. What we learned from that experience is HR professionals
need to be keenly aware of how technological advances and
communication impact the workplace. We also have to be at least a
step or two ahead of the rest of the employees so that we provide the
insight and advice our organizations need.
