Predicting what impact AI will have on the workplace in the future when we don't know what will happen next week, due to the Pandemic, is a challenge. However, when talking about AI, the future is already here. It is currently having an impact on talent acquisition, HR, internal communications and pretty much everywhere you look, from medicine, communications and retail. It is no longer that intangible, scary thing seen in a sci-fi movie. We have embraced it already, and most of us make use of it on a daily basis, often without realising.
