Artificial Intelligence in HR functions : A Smart Technology


What is Artificial Intelligence?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is an area of computer science that tries to develop computers and systems that can do activities that need human intelligence (Richard, 2019).


History of artificial intelligence

The concept of artificial intelligence dates back to ancient Greece, but significant milestones in its evolution include Alan Turing's publication of Computing Machinery and Intelligence in 1950, John McCarthy's invention of the Lisp language in 1956, and the development of the Logic Theorist in 1967. Frank Rosenblatt's Mark 1 Perceptron, based on a neural network, became the first computer to learn through trial and error. Neural networks using a backpropagation algorithm gained widespread use in AI applications in the 1980s. IBM's Deep Blue and IBM Watson achieved significant achievements, while Baidu's Minwa supercomputer and DeepMind's AlphaGo program achieved significant victories. In 2023, large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT significantly improved AI performance and potential enterprise value. These new generative AI practices enable deep-learning models to be pre-trained on vast amounts of raw, unlabeled data. 


7 ways AI is used in human resources

  1. Recruiting
  2. Performance reviews
  3. Employee onboarding/offboarding processes
  4. Employee engagement initiatives
  5. Talent development and training
  6. Workforce planning
  7. HR chatbots and virtual assistants

( Chevalier, 2022)

Advantages of Artificial Intelligence

1. Reduction in Human Error
2. Zero Risks
3..24x7 Availability
4.Digital Assistance
5.New Inventions
6.Unbiased Decisions
7.Perform Repetitive Jobs
8.Daily Applications
9.AI in Risky Situations
10. Faster Decision-making

(Duggal, 2023)
 
 

Disadvantages of Artificial Intelligence

1. High Costs
2. No Creativity
3. Unemployment
4. Make Humans Lazy
5. No Ethics
6. Emotionless
7. No Improvement

 (Duggal, 2023)

Self-Reflection

According to my AI investigation, there are advantages as well as disadvantages. As a result, when I handle HR functions, AI is unable to sympathize with human resource management, i.e., AI is unable to recognize human sadness, happiness, and so on. As a result, we cannot fully rely on AI in HRM.



 Conclusion

AI is a costly force with tremendous potential for HR services. HR directors can streamline their processes, promote improved decision-making, and ultimately improve overall company performance by appropriately implementing AI. HR professionals can lead their enterprises towards a more productive and efficient future by embracing AI with a human-centric strategy, where technology and people work in harmony to create shared success.

    The point you discussed is being debated a lot in the modern world. Your article clearly points out the advantages and disadvantages of artificial intelligence. The most favorable point I would like to mention here is "Regarding Impartiality". Thank you for informing us on this matter.

    While Artificial intelligence can automate many tasks traditionally done by HR professionals, it is important to note that Artificial intelligence can not replace the human touch entirely. HR professionals will still be needed to provide a personal touch, make strategic decisions, and manage complex issues that cannot be automated.

Cultivate Empathy at the workplace

  Cultivate Empathy at the  workplace What is empathy? Empathy involves placing oneself in the shoes of another person, being aware of their feelings, recognizing their needs, and actively attempting to help them. Empathy is one of the fundamental components of emotional intelligence, according to psychologists, and it develops in three phases (Addison, 2022) .  Empathy involves seeing another person's suffering, such as after a loss, and instantly envisioning yourself experiencing the same experience. While people can understand their own emotions, understanding others' perspectives can be challenging. Empathy allows people to "walk a mile in another's shoes" and understand the emotions they are experiencing (Cherry, 2023). HR is responsible for providing an empathic and supportive work environment . ·          Pay attention: Active listening involves attentively listening to others' words, understanding their body language,...

  Equal Pay's Impact on Human Resource Management (HRM) What does it mean to have equal pay? E qual pay indicates that all employees have the right to be paid equally for equal-value work. It has been difficult to define what equal pay entails and make it a reality. It has been difficult to define equal remuneration for equal effort appropriately, and there have been various roadblocks in deciding how to efficiently implement this type of legislation (HR Search & Rescue, 2021). What role does human resource management play in ensuring fair compensation within an organization? Human Resource Management (HRM) is critical in a business for ensuring fair compensation for all employees, regardless of gender, color, or other characteristics. Pay equality is not only a legal obligation in many jurisdictions, but it is also an essential component of having a fair and inclusive workplace (Piazza, 2020).   Best practices for equal pay Create clear pay systems and obje...
