The Role of AI in Human Resources

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is improving human resources (HR), streamlining processes and empowering employees to perform better. Employee data that was once banished to the archives can now be combined with the huge volume of data running through a business' network to identify talent gaps, learning and development initiatives and provide recommendations to HR professionals and managers. It is becoming clear that the future success of businesses will be defined by how well they are able to optimise the combination of human and automated work. There have been some controversial headlines surrounding automation in the workplace and earlier this year, the World Economic Forum projected that the demand for'unique' human skills will grow. While its research suggests 75 million current jobs will be displaced as artificial intelligence takes over more routine aspects of work, 133 million new jobs will be created.
