Nowadays, the workplace is changing. Jobs are changing, some even becoming "obsolete." A large part of this flux is due to artificial intelligence being the new normal, increasing productivity and altering traditional job roles. More than ever, hiring managers have to look at what positions can be entirely filled with robots, and which can be assisted with the help of AI to produce more and cost less. This means that who is being hired is being impacted.

This exercise shows how much confusion and emotion surround a relatively simple concept. Artificial intelligence (AI) is the simulation of human intelligence by machines, which can complete tasks like planning, learning and problem solving. In other words, AI is when a machine does human stuff. According to Deloitte's 2018 Human Capital Trends report of 11,000 global business leaders and HR professionals, 38% of companies use AI already, and 62% plan to by the end of this year. In the recruitment industry, AI and machine learning are being most frequently used to source candidates in a smarter way.
