Webinar: Meeting the Legal and Ethical Challenges of AI-Powered HR Systems
Failure to do so will likely lead to an obsolete HR department and threaten the entire organization.”
Good AI combo: Research report & webinar
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is beginning to mature in HR departments across the workplace. “Corporations are moving past the hype around the technology to discern how it can add practical value.”
In short, we’re all getting used to seeing AI seeping in everywhere around us.
CB Insights is out with its latest look at AI trends going forward: Artificial Intelligence Trends to Watch in 2020. Also, XpertHR is out with a webinar that focuses on some of the key CB trends that deal with HR and the workplace: Meeting the Legal and Ethical Challenges of AI-Powered HR Systems. Each is a good companion for the other: CB’s paper is a good generalist overview of where and how AI will move next, while XpertHR dives down to where the rubber meets the road—the places where we go to work every day.
The future of work and workplaces, and the on-the-job relationship between artificial intelligence (machine learning) and people, is finally beginning to clarify a bit. “By 2022, 78 percent of organizations will have adopted at least one AI-powered HR system with several more in development.”
For sure, AI is now in a starring role in the workplace with recruitment, onboarding and employee development, etc. So much so, in fact, things are now labeled with a new moniker: “AI-Powered HR Systems”.
CB insights does a good job at sorting through the trends, while XpertHR works well at unravelling those trends for a deeper, more comprehensive checklist of observations and suggested courses of action.
However, as we have come to realize with the frenetic pace of AI disruption, new AI tech can create new problems even as it solves old ones.
The webinar is a big help in cutting through hype to see the positive successes, unexpected outcomes, and potential pitfalls of AI tech.
Well-informed AI experts, Dr. Valerie Morignat and Garry Mathiason, chair the webinar, and also provide a raft of comprehensive notes and slides to better visualize and explain these newly-hatched “AI-Powered HR Systems”. The webinar is a bit longish at an hour and ten minutes, but it’s well worth your time. The bonus is all the notes and slides; all downloadable!
The new decade brings with it the immediate need for HR professionals to become informed and prepared for the critical role they will perform in successfully planning, developing, implementing and maintaining Artificial Intelligence-powered HR systems. By 2022, 78% of organizations will have adopted at least one AI-powered HR system with several more in development.
This program offers practical, current, and essential information and critical thinking necessary for being successful in the new AI-powered HR world!
