Why Artificial Intelligence For Recruiting And HR Is Really Stupid.

I'm sure you've heard by now, that artificial intelligence is coming to Human Resources. Of course, the manifold marketing materials and click baiting content dedicated to this growing, uh, phenomenon are predicated on the assumption that there was actual intelligence in the HR function to begin with. This point can probably be debated, which brings us to the larger question: why are we talking about AI in HR, anyways? The fact of the matter is, the problems most endemic to HR, the biggest challenges facing our profession are inherently the holes in even the most sophisticated AI solutions. Whether in reality or in speculative Science Fiction (or somewhere in between, like your provider's "product roadmap"), true AI is the HR Technology equivalent of tilting at windmills.
