In his recent webinar for CUPA-HR, Rahul Thadani, senior executive director of HR information systems at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, answered some of the most frequently raised questions about AI in HR. He also spoke to the most prevalent worries, including concerns about data privacy and whether AI will compete with humans for jobs. In addition to covering the basics on AI and how it works, Thadani addressed questions about the risks and rewards of using AI in HR, including: How can AI speed up productivity now? What AI tools should HR be using? How well is AI integrated into enterprise software? What are the risks and downsides of using AI? What role will AI play in the future of HR? Thadani also put to rest a common fear about AI: that it will replace human jobs. He believes that HR is too complex, too fundamentally human a role to be automated.
