OracleVoice: 4 Insights On Artificial Intelligence And The Future Of Work

DALLAS--In just a few short years, artificial intelligence has evolved from technology curiosity to practical business tool, promising to help marketers, customer service agents, finance specialists, and a range of other professionals hone their crafts. Also on the front lines of the AI movement are HR leaders, for whom the technology's self-learning, adaptive algorithms will soon become indispensable in their efforts to identify, recruit, manage, and retain the most talented people. Oracle Group Vice President Gretchen Alarcon tells the crowd at Oracle HCM World how organizations could potentially use AI embedded in Oracle HCM Cloud to evaluate candidates. At Oracle HCM World in Dallas last week, experts in human capital management offered their insights on the power and potential of AI, as well as the apprehension that surrounds its use. During a keynote session at the conference, Oracle Group Vice President Gretchen Alarcon and Oracle Vice President Jack Berkowitz demonstrated how organizations could potentially use AI embedded in Oracle HCM Cloud to evaluate candidates responding to a job ad on Instagram. Such an application would analyze data shared by each applicant--on his or her skills, work history, and interests--and then match those patterns against data on the job requirements, the employer's culture, and how recent hires with similar profiles are faring in their jobs.
