More than 40% of HR functions use or are experimenting with gen AI, according to research by the Institute for Corporate Productivity.
Of six HR functions using AI, each deploys it to improve efficiency and productivity.
Talent acquisition is one of the key areas of HR practising gen AI, with video or chatbot-interviews among the tech’s uses.
Talent development is another area in which gen AI can catalyse change, enabling teams to treat instruction and development needs on a personalised basis.
Total rewards teams that may use gen AI include those responsible for automating compensation queries and pay equity analysis.
Diversity, equity and inclusion teams use AI to identify potential bias in job descriptions and employee pay, and assess the impact of changes.
People-analytics teams apply gen AI heavily to qualitative and empirical data analysis in support of natural-language processing and employee feedback analysis.
Some businesses, including Walmart, also deploy chatbots to answer employee queries and help ensure optimal employee experience and labour relations.
Good HR deployment of AI only occurs in 13% of organisations HR function, with 28% and 34% respectively using the technology in moderation or in a minimal fashion.
But 51% of employers are now embracing gen AI to some degree: HR input is increasingly being sought in strategic AI decision making, the report by i4cp indicates.
