AI for HR: Challenges, opportunities and practical actions

AI is changing work. The availability of end-user generative AI tools like ChatGPT means this is unlike any other tech roll-out. Any employee, anywhere can use tools that transform productivity.

As the HR profession, we are responsible for people. The new AI tools create new challenges and opportunities in terms of ethics, management, decision making, productivity, performance and many other areas. That’s big context and we may not feel ready to tackle those challenges. This session is intended to help.

We will aim for three things:

1. How does HR need to think about priorities and strategies to incorporate AI?

2. How can we use AI tools today to help us be more efficient and effective?

3. How can we build our own skills and confidence in the use of AI?

To do this, we will take a look at the whole colleague experience journey, highlighting some of the opportunities along the way. We will then look at some real specific examples, in order to show how we can use tools in practice.

And finally, we will open for a wider discussion on how AI tools could help attendees with their immediate priorities.The aim is to make this as practical as possible
