The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into Human Resources (HR) is revolutionizing talent management and acquisition. AI’s impact is complex, offering both opportunities and challenges. Informed by interviews with 20 HR leaders and technology developers, this report explores the current and potential implications of AI in HR practices. We gathered insights on how AI is being used, the excitement and concerns surrounding it, and the innovative use cases being imagined. The interviews revealed three types of AI uses in HR: as a collaborator, agent or revolutionary. After explaining those use cases, we offer three specific observations about next steps, HR professionals, educators and tech tool developers should take.
