Opinion The role of Artificial Intelligence in talent management

In today's day and age there cannot be a more perfect meeting place for human and artificial intelligence (AI) than human resources (HR). The synergy of the two is all set to transform the way organizations recruit, assess, manage and motivate talent. One has to understand that AI is not set to put HR executives out of work, rather it is set to transform HR departments across organizations. Therefore, it is not surprising that many see AI as having the potential to transform and alter key HR functions, such as recruiting, performance evaluation and capability development. KPMG International's latest global survey The Future of HR 2019, indicates that 60% of HR executives feel "very confident" about HR's actual ability to transform and move them forward via key capabilities like analytics and AI.
