From artificial intelligence and automation to machine learning and semantic search, we've been inundated with the industry's hottest buzzwords, but what do these terms really mean for us in the talent acquisition space and for the future of our profession? These terms are far from passing fads. Nearly 3 in 4 employers expect that some roles within talent acquisition and human capital management will become completely automated within the next 10 years, according to a 2017 survey by my company, CareerBuilder. Our research also shows that artificial intelligence and automation will have a major impact on HR and employment over the next few years, as more than 1 in 10 HR managers are already seeing evidence of AI becoming a regular part of HR, while more than half say it will be within the next five years. This has been stoking unwarranted fear in our industry and beyond.

In this week's edition of 5 Minutes of Management, Workforce editors Frank Kalman and Rick Bell discuss the effect of autonomous vehicles on the workforce, in which 1 in 9 workers hold jobs that could be impacted by this trend. Which jobs could benefit from the expected rise of autonomous vehicles, and which could be harmed? They also talk about the high cost of financial stress in the workplace.

Tedious administrative tasks have long been the bane of the HR professional's job. Updating paperwork, sending out benefits reminders and plowing through hundreds of resumes can eat up hours every day, preventing HR leaders from focusing on more strategic tasks related to workforce planning and development. But the days of drudgery may soon be over, at least according to some vendors. Over the past year, HR software providers have trumpeted the fact that their technologies automate all of the manual and repetitive tasks that few want to do. Industry tech experts say your job is safe.

SueAI is one advancement that could make talent management a whole lot easier. Artificial intelligence could be a boon to HR leaders. Artificial intelligence is coming to human resources, but it's not going to be as exciting as Hollywood would have us believe. There will be no tiny humanoids roaming the halls offering AI benefits counseling, or shiny silver robots hosting AI yoga classes in the cafeteria. But in the not too distant future, there could be a Siri-like service that can answer employee benefits questions or tells people where the yoga class is, said Anthony Onesto, executive adviser to technology start-ups and vice president of Razor Fish, a digital marketing agency.
