ChatGPT has taken the world by storm – within the first week of its official release it had over a million users and the adoption rate is galloping since then. Already several hundred startups have been set up to build applications around ChatGPT. No domain or activity is going to be left untouched by ChatGPT or such generational AI tools in the coming days. What would be the likely impact on HR function? It should be recognised that while such AI tools would bring about transformational changes, the full implications would be realised as time goes by.

The short answer is yes. Get ready for a transformation of your HR department and I'm talking about making it much better. Do you really want to work at your current level of speed and productivity? AI is the key businesses have been waiting to make this department more effective: Getting more done, pursuing accuracy and playing a more dynamic role in attaining company goals. But of course, it will only happen if you know about and implement these changes.
