AI Meets HR: Planning Tomorrow's Workforce

The potential of artificial intelligence to transform the workplace is no longer the stuff of science fiction. It's a today reality that companies--and especially their executive teams and Human Resources (HR) leaders--are meeting head-on. Gone are the days of installing technology systems that served as fixed tools over a fixed lifecycle.iStock Dynamic technology innovations including machine learning and artificial intelligence are already changing the way companies operate, and redefining the very concept of work in the process. And while major technology breakthroughs that fundamentally reshape the workplace have a history of driving net job gains and improved employee satisfaction over the long term, the path is often complicated by short-term concerns or wake-me-when-it's-over inertia.
