Will HR Jobs Will Be Taken Over by Artificial Intelligence?

In the last few years, artificial intelligence (AI) has gained a lot of traction in the HR field, with it being the core function of a range of technologies.

What Is the Extent of AI’s Potential in Replacing HR Roles?

• A lot has been said about how AI platforms will introduce large-scale automation, eliminating the need for some jobs. However, this is primarily limited to repetitive, process-based tasks that do not require too much human intervention.
• As per a Gartner report, AI can eliminate “millions of middle and low-level positions” in the next few years. But it also noted that AI would create 2.3 million additional jobs, which is significantly more than the 1.8 that Gartner predicts will be eliminated.
• Interestingly, the impact of this trend on HR is multifaceted. On the one hand, HR has several strategic roles (formulating recruitment plans, providing executive coaching, etc.) that are unlikely to be taken over by AI. On the other hand, HR also has large volumes of tactical responsibilities that could be replaced by AI-led automation.
• “AI won’t replace all of HR, but it will cause significant change and disruption, including the elimination of some jobs,”
• “AI can be viewed as an automation technology (but for intellectual work rather than manual), and like any automation technology, AI will have the most impact on tasks which are higher volume and lower decision complexity”

AI Will Take Over Specific HR Jobs, not HR Roles

• Science fiction often portrays AI as a futuristic technology driven by robots and autonomous machines. But the reality is different – AI can fit seamlessly into our daily lives, and while it eliminates certain jobs, it frees us up to route efforts in different directions.
• And the same applies to HR as well. “Will the future have ‘HR robots’ instead of HR professionals? Not likely,”
• “But AI is here to stay, and it will replace or assist HR with activities such as recruiting, engaging, evaluating, and retaining talent. HR professionals need to embrace and prepare for this reality, where administrative skills are less important,”
• Going forward, HR will be able to offload a significant portion of process-based tasks (both manual and intellectual) and cognitive decision-making. The future of HRcenters on a brand-new set of priorities, such as selecting the right workplace technology and building the employer brand, instead of a narrow focus on the efficiency of existing processes.

Why HR Still Needs People Despite These AI Strengths

• AI excels at tasks that rely on data processing and pattern recognition, completing these functions faster and more efficiently than human beings can, making it a valuable tool for automating many aspects of HR.
• But the “human” aspect of human resourcesshouldn’t be neglected. From making the final hiring decisions to finding creative ways to keep workers engaged, HR directors know their employees and their organization in ways AI software doesn’t.
• AI merely is a tool that can give HR team members more time to get to know employees, shape company culture and address issues that crop up.
• Also, not every employee is comfortable adopting unfamiliar technologies. HR staff can ease the transition to AI, showing employees how using AI in HR can help nearly everyone in the workplace become more productive and efficient.
