How AI will transform human resources

While scientists and sci-fi writers alike have been speculating and experimenting with AI for decades, the emergence of the current spectrum of artificially intelligent machines and software has perhaps been driven by one factor more than any other – the overwhelming abundance of data that organisations of all types have to deal with today. The sheer weight of data available to businesses and other entities is simply beyond the scope of human operators to sort, analyse and utilise. But with the advent of artificial intelligence and machine learning, we now have the tools available to not only deal with this data, but to properly utilise it to deliver business insights and efficiencies. This is as true in human resources as in any other sphere of business. Recruitment, in particular, is an area in which many HR professionals feel there is considerable scope for improvement.
