In HRchat episode 591, we attempt to shed light on a topic that’s been on everyone’s mind: the rise of artificial intelligence in HR. Listen in as we ask: ‘What does the rise of generative AI mean for the HR profession?‘
Ever since its launch last November, ChatGPT has been making waves globally, and the HR community is no exception. As AI continues to evolve, it has the potential to revolutionize the way we approach repetitive and mundane tasks in areas like recruitment and onboarding. But what does this mean for the future of HR? What about concerns for job security? And how can we harness the benefits of AI while navigating the inevitable changes that lie ahead?
To help us explore these questions and more, Bill Banham is joined by Prerna Ajmera, the General Manager of HR Digital Strategy & Innovation at Microsoft. Prerna leads Microsoft’s HR innovation team, delving into cutting-edge technologies such as Generative AI and its application across the business world. She’s also a speaker at the HR Tech North America online conference in late June 2023.
Listen as Bill and Prerna dive into the increasing role of AI in HR and how it’s reshaping traditional practices. We’ll discuss the limits of AI and the importance of maintaining that essential human touch in HR processes. And, of course, we’ll explore the future development of AI and the evolving role of HR professionals in this rapidly changing landscape.
Questions for Prerna include:
- What inspired you to pursue a career in HR Tech and how did you get started?
- What work are you currently doing at Microsoft to help accelerate AI enablement for HR?
- Along with Markus Bernhardt, Chief Evangelist at OBRIZUM, you’re involved with a session at the HR Tech North America Conference called ‘What does the rise of Generative AI mean for HR?’ What are you most excited about sharing at the event and what do you hope the attendees will learn from your session?
- How do you use AI to enhance employee experiences and HR professionals’ capabilities in your organization?
- What are some of the benefits and risks of AI in HR Tech and how do you balance them?
- What would you say to HR pros and other employees who are concerned that AI will replace their roles in the coming years?
