I wrote about Dropbox several times in the past week, motivated by meetings I had with Dropbox at the Work In Progress even in San Francisco. I attended Boxworks 19 and live-tweeted the keynote. ADP DataCloud Reaches New Heights with AI-Enhanced Features ADP is moving aggressively to augment companies' hiring efforts with increased capabilities based on machine learning applied to workforce data from over 30 million employees: ADP leverages insights from its immense pool of workforce data to design products that allow business leaders to make actionable decisions by eliminating the need for the manual analysis of a company's data. Previous enhancements such as Executive and Manager Insights (EMI) have helped clients seamlessly measure, compare and apply insights uncovered from ADP workforce data to identify specific issues including unnecessary overtime costs and productivity gaps, enabling them to take action within the flow of work. With AI-enhanced capabilities, ADP DataCloud can continue building upon its success and help leaders proactively address issues before they become larger problems.

"Daddy, did you check the weather forecast?" This is the question my daughter asks me almost every morning. I'll be honest, I don't usually check the forecast. I choose instead to rely on my own judgment. I look at the sky, think about what the weather has been like for the last few days, or stick my head out the door to see how the air feels.

It's no longer shocking that human resources departments use artificial intelligence.

So, where can HR leaders expect to see significant gains in how AI will support HR-driven uses cases? There are some caveats to consider with AI-infused human resources initiatives. For starters, companies should keep a close eye on how these AI tools perform as they risk inadvertently introducing bias, according to Armen Berjikly, head of AI at Ultimate Software.
