Is It Paradoxical that AI Is Blazing a Trail in HR?

Admittedly, it sounds like an oxymoron to say "artificial intelligence" when talking about human resources. I see the irony and can understand why some businesses look at AI skeptically. But as a manager of people, I see this integration as a welcome convenience. Like most managers, there are HR functions that fall under my responsibility because I have direct reports. But my primary focus at work is usually on the projects, campaigns, or deliverables tied to my goals and key performance indicators.
