The development of computer systems that are capable of executing tasks that usually require human intelligence is known as artificial intelligence or AI. Learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, understanding a language, and decision- making are some of these tasks. The ultimate goal of artificial intelligence is to build machines that possess cognitive abilities similar to those of humans. The implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into Human Resources (HR) processes is growing more common. The aim is to enhance and maximize the efficiency of HR- related tasks such as talent management, recruitment, and employee engagement.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has a positive impact on HR processes in organizations (Niehueser, W. & Boak, 2020). originated that the introduction of AI improved the speed and efficiency of work processes, and employees who used the new technology were positive about its effects(Iqbal, 2018). also stated that AI has positive impacts on the management of workers in companies, automated recruiting procedures to employee performance reviews, AI is being used in HR practices
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the technology of training machines with human intelligence (that is, to gather information, process information, make decisions, and process other human-like processors). One common example of artificial intelligence solutions that have touched daily life is the complex set of algorithms and software that powers Siri on the iPhone (Bostrom and Yudkowsky 2011; Luckin 2017).
What is artificial intelligence (AI): Machines, particularly computer systems, imitate the workings of human intelligence. Examples of AI applications include expert systems, machine learning, natural language processing, speech recognition, and machine vision.
How AI functions: What we commonly refer to as AI is often simply a component of AI, such as machine learning, as interest in AI rises. In order to create and refine machine learning algorithms, AI involves the usage of specialised hardware and software. Significant amounts of labelled training data are typically consumed by AI systems, which then analyse the data for correlations and patterns before applying those patterns to forecast future states. Chatbots can learn to have actual conversations with people using text chat samples, while image recognition software can learn to identify and describe objects in photographs by studying millions of instances. The three main focuses of AI programming are learning, reasoning, and self-correction.
Learning processes: This area of AI programming is involved with gathering data and formulating rules for turning that data into information that can be used. Algorithms are sets of rules that instruct computers on how to carry out specific tasks step-by-step.
Reasoning processes: This area of AI is concerned with selecting the best algorithm to achieve a desired result.
Self-correction processes: This feature of AI programming aims to continuously improve algorithms and guarantee they deliver the most accurate outcomes.
Why is Artificial Intelligence important: Artificial intelligence is significant because it can offer businesses completely undiscovered operational insights and, in some situations, outperform humans at certain tasks. AI systems frequently do jobs fast and accurately, especially for repetitive, detail-oriented tasks like reviewing numerous legal documents to make sure that essential fields are correctly filled out. The biggest and most successful businesses of today use AI to enhance operations and acquire a strategic advantage (e.g. Google).
HR Processes
Perspectives on HR processes (Amit & Belcourt, 1999). defines HRM processes as the routines by which a firm attracts, socializes, trains, motivates, evaluates, and compensates its human resources (Ansari & Srinivasan, 2020). defines HRM as the process of managing people in organizations in a structured and thorough manner, covering staffing, retention, pay and perks, performance management, change management, and exits(Václav et al., 2011). presents a modern approach to HR management, defining a set of business processes handled by HR managers, and the relationship between HR business processes, performance drivers, and ICT tools.
The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on HR Processes
An era has begun with the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into Human Resources (HR) processes, which has opened up new opportunities and modified traditional approaches. Here are a few instances:
Hiring/ Recruiting and Acquiring Talent: Talent acquisition and recruitment are two of the most important sectors where AI has had a big impact. The hiring process has been made more efficient by chatbots for first interactions, AI-driven candidate matching, and automated resume screening.
Employee Onboarding: AI makes it easier for fresh hires to adjust, from personalized onboarding experiences to automated document processing. Chatbots and virtual assistants offer instant support by responding to inquiries and helping staff members through the onboarding process, resulting in a satisfying first impression.
Performance Management: AI-driven insights are helpful for goal-setting, performance reviews, and feedback analysis. This makes it possible to identify growth opportunities, conduct assessments that are more accurate, and create development programs that are customized to the needs of each employee.
Training and Development: AI has made personalized and adaptive training programs available in the field of learning and development. AI creates personalized learning routes through assessing performance data and individual learning preferences. This ensures employees receive training that is relevant and effective.
This leads to a workforce that is more skilled and flexible while also improving the process of skill development.
