HR is changing. New apps, sites, solutions, and software crop up every day, all promising a more efficient world. That’s the positive side. The negative – or at least, new, side – is the rise of Terminator-like technologies, including AI and bots.
At what point will these innovative systems stop being helpful and start displacing humans? How should conscientious HR professionals preserve the delicate balance between human-centered approaches and data-driven insights? Can and should AI advancements be regulated and if so, by whom?
There are some very exciting times ahead as the HR industry undergoes massive change and transformations in relation to technology. It seems like every day, a new HR app, site, IT solution, software, aggregator or matching system makes its entry into an already too complex and crowded HR reality.
Check out the audio-cast of our recent SXSW session for survival tips on how to thrive through current changes in the HR field while getting ready for the future of work. In this conference, we will take you into the present & future of recruitment, job search, and work, opposing the HUMAN and TECH perspectives in a friendly debate.
In this audio-cast we discuss:
THOUGHTS FOR THE PRESENT
- What is the present situation with recruitment? Thousands of HR technologies are coming out right left and center, what’s the impact on HR who have no choice now but to jump on board with the technological revolution?
- How do companies know what to spend their money on, what are they buying and what works and doesn’t work?
- How have technologies, including Linkedin changed the reality for staffing & headhunting firms? Easier, Harder?
- Legal implications for the large companies & impacts on adherence to technologies?
THOUGHTS FOR THE FUTURE
- Opposing visions of the future of recruitment and job search. Could it possibly occur one day without any human interaction? Can it all be fully automated?
- How will the HR’s role evolve, more specifically brought on by the advancements of AI?
- What is the future of global headhunting and staffing businesses?
- Automation of work through AI & virtual reality: Can and will machines replace…all people one day? If not, who and when? Exploring replacement versus displacement and the impact on HR. In the next 10 years, what’s your perspective of the kinds of jobs that are at risk of disappearing? How do we prepare for jobs that don’ t exist yet?
- What do humans do that bots can’t?
- How do we manage the transformation from a human-centered approach to a data-driven, impersonal approach?
- Ethics, diversity, and inclusion & recruitment biases. Can a machine wipe-out discrimination and hiring biases completely? What are the ethical A.I. & repercussions of programmed bias?
- What are the future repercussions of having so much technology coming out right left and center? What will be the problems for innovative Startups vs Corporations? Will the future really be up to Amazon?
- What will be the skill set gap and how will it affect the international talent war?
