How HR can include AI in their business strategy

Consulting agency, Gartner, has published a threatening report: by 2020, Artificial intelligence could replace skilled professionals in the fields of medicine, law or IT. But this technology won't only be useful for repetitive or time consuming tasks, it will also have its uses in skilled professions where the added value usually lies within human intelligence. Within these particular domains, training and learning require time and resources. With each new hire, the company must factor in a period of low employee productivity before hoping to see a rise in turnover. But by exploiting machine learning the company will see an acceleration in its processes, as only the first machine requires a learning period unlike the ones that will follow.
