How HR Can Actually Use AI

As we wrap up our series on Artificial Intelligence, we’ve learned that AI isn’t as scary as some people make it out to be and that we can use it in a variety of ways- but with some caution- in order to impact our workplaces in a positive manner.  We’ve tried to emphasize that AI is best to leverage when: You do the task a lot, It is a manual process, It is prone to human error, therefore:It’s time consuming. So if you have the data sources you need and the technology to do it,Let AI help. And go do something more value added with
