Integration of Artificial Intelligence in Human Resource Management

 



Introduction

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a broadside of computer science. It is about building smart machines capable of performing tasks that normally require human intelligence.

Human Resources Management strategy is about employment policies and practices, which includes recruitment, selection, evaluation, development and retention of employees.

HR has been experiencing a huge revolution with the help of AI. It has been slowly trickled down to many of the HR functions. These functions are reshaped with the help of a virtual assistant. It once was mainly done by humans. HR functions such as talent management, performance appraisal, learning, and development are a few of the many where AI has been implemented. AI has transformed the various HR functions which have benefitted not only the HR professionals but also employees and organizations too

 “There is a lot of administration related work in HRM which is important and repetitive such as job posting, sourcing, screening, scheduling meetings and interview, preparing timesheets, recording and verifying accounts and other expenses. If this can be fully automated through AI, it will entirely benefit the HRM by relieving them from these routine tasks and ensuring they dedicate more time in strategic thinking, creativity, relationship building, emotional intelligence, and better problem handling” (George, Thomas, 2019)

AI has a promising future in HR, however integrating it in HR has many challenges (Bersin, 2017) which a company has to overcome to get the full advantage of it. AI works like humans only if quality data is collected and provided otherwise the results can be wrong, hence getting all people-related data while integrating is a long process but it is only an initial challenge. Secondly, confidentially of the documents and policies shared by companies need to be ensured that they are not misused and proper measures to be taken to keep them confidential and secure. Lastly, we cannot claim that AI will able to perform the work with 100% efficiency but to a great extent can eliminate human errors and bias. Despite these challenges, many companies are making efforts to integrate AI in HR because the advantages overshadow the challenges with AI integration in HR. (George, Thomas, 2019)

Conclusion

 The integration of artificial intelligence in human resource management will hugely reduce the cost of the organization, reduce the substitutable basic work of HR, help HR enhance the analysis data, become the strategic resource of the organization, and the work and mode of human resource management will be changed entirely. When using AI in day-to-day practices of human resource management that seek to make the enterprise economically viable and stand out from the competition.
