Artificial Intelligence and Human Resource Management in Modern Businesses

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence has not only influenced the human endeavours but also the way human resource management (HRM) is being practiced in today’s world. As more of the work such as resume screening and interview scheduling are being handled by AI tools, the HR professionals can shift their attention to more productive tasks. But this also means that AI is gradually becoming the final filter to the world of work for many people, reducing them to mere applicants trying to pass a bot’s algorithm. Thus, while AI might be making HR more efficient, we should not allow it to turn into a ‘Terminator’ that delivers employment destiny. The research method employed in this study was a qualitative research method that involved data analysis of secondary data. In this case, the data was gathered from a systematic literature review. The literature review was done with a view of getting information on the subject matter and with a view of discovering the gaps in the current literature. The study was intended to help understand the impact of AI on the practices of HRM. It was expected that from this research, a better understanding would be made on how AI alters the process of HRM and the impact of this change on organizational performance. The study implies that AI has a high potential to help the HRM professionals to improve their decision-making and minimize time-consuming tasks. However, there are also some risks that are associated with the use of AI in the context of HRM such as the issue of privacy, security, and ethical issues. Therefore, this research contributes to the understanding of the nature of the effects of AI on the HRM and underlines the necessity to consider the advantages and disadvantages of the AI application in the sphere.
