And most of your peers are feeling that pressure: Three-quarters (76%) of HR leaders <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gartner.com\/en\/human-resources\/topics\/artificial-intelligence-in-hr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">surveyed by Gartner<\/a> believe that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betterworks.com\/magazine\/katie-king-hr-ai-strategy\/\">implementing an AI strategy<\/a>, particularly one focused on generative AI, must happen within the next two years to \u200cremain competitive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s explore some of the top applications of AI in HR and how AI-powered technology can benefit your organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-evolving-role-of-ai-in-hr\">The evolving role of AI in HR<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The initial focus for AI in HR was automating simple tasks such as resume screening and basic employee queries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, over the past year, we\u2019ve seen a notable shift towards more sophisticated applications. AI is no longer just a backend processor; it&#8217;s become a strategic copilot in HR functions. This transformation has been driven by advancements in AI capabilities, including natural language processing, machine learning, predictive analytics, and generative AI \u2014 all tailored to support complex HR practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AI adoption use cases vary, with 43% of HR leaders aiming to use generative AI on HR service delivery solutions (employee-facing chatbots) and 42% on HR operations (admin tasks, policies), among other use cases, the Gartner report noted.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Increasing rates of AI adoption in HR not only highlight AI\u2019s growing capabilities but also reflect a broader shift in how organizations view their talent. With AI, HR can automate rote administrative tasks and apply advanced analytics and insights to strategic decision-making, shaping future trends in work with data-driven insights and foresight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"What Is AI in HR?\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/953206252?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-ai-in-hr-examples\">5 AI in HR examples<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s look at some practical, real-world applications of AI technology that significantly impact HR departments across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-automating-administrative-tasks\"><strong>Automating administrative tasks<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>AI can handle many <a href=\"https:\/\/factohr.com\/complete-payroll-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">aspects of payroll processing<\/a>, benefits administration, and compliance reporting with precision and minimal oversight. By automating these tasks, you can free up your team\u2019s time to focus on more strategic initiatives that require creativity and a human touch. In our research report, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betterworks.com\/generative-ai-challenges-and-opportunities-report\/\">HR\u2019s Guide to How the Workforce is Responding to Generative AI Challenges and Opportunities<\/a>, we found that 36% of employees use generative AI for rote tasks to be more efficient at work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-transforming-recruitment-and-hiring-processes\"><strong>Transforming recruitment and hiring processes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>AI is transforming recruitment and hiring by optimizing job postings for better reach and fit, screening resumes with greater accuracy, and using predictive analytics to forecast candidate success. For example, AI-driven interviewing platforms can assess the content of candidate responses, ensuring you find the best fit for your organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More HR leaders are relying on predictive analytics to drive their talent acquisition strategies. By examining past hiring data, performance outcomes, and employee lifecycles, AI models can predict the success of potential candidates, identify the qualities of high performers, and help your HR team make <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betterworks.com\/magazine\/people-analytics-capabilities-for-data-driven-hr\/\">data-driven decisions<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-improving-employee-experience\"><strong>Improving employee experience<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>AI also plays a significant role in personalizing the employee experience. From a customized onboarding process that adapts to an individual\u2019s learning style to career development tools that suggest paths based on performance and preferences, AI helps tailor the working environment to meet the unique needs of each employee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some organizations also use AI-powered HR technology to gauge employee morale and well-being through sentiment analysis of communication platforms and employee feedback mechanisms. These tools can detect recent changes in employee sentiment, providing HR with real-time data to proactively address concerns, adjust workloads, or modify policies to improve workplace culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-personalizing-employee-learning-and-development\"><strong>Personalizing employee learning and development<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can personalize <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betterworks.com\/magazine\/betterworks-ai-tools\/\">employee development with AI<\/a>, and scale your program to help each person find the resources and tools they need to grow within your business. Using AI, HR departments can now offer customized learning experiences that adapt to an individual&#8217;s learning pace, preferred content type, and career aspirations. This not only enhances learning outcomes but also boosts employee satisfaction and retention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-empowering-real-time-employee-performance-feedback\"><strong>Empowering real-time employee performance feedback<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most managers aren\u2019t trained to give good feedback, but intelligent performance management systems equipped with generative AI help fill that skills gap. Betterworks\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betterworks.com\/product\/employee-feedback-software\/\">Feedback Assist<\/a> tool, for example, provides managers with personalized, constructive, and unbiased feedback for employees, leading to greater trust, focused career planning, and better outcomes. AI helps ease the burden on managers so they can provide their teams with better feedback more often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using AI to generate feedback appeals to employees as much as to managers. Our AI report found that 75% of employees are okay with AI writing their performance reviews as long as their manager reviews the content and adjusts it as needed for accuracy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"580\" src=\"https:\/\/www.betterworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/AI-in-HR-Update-SEO-Internal-1-1024x580.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-106273\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.betterworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/AI-in-HR-Update-SEO-Internal-1-1024x580.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.betterworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/AI-in-HR-Update-SEO-Internal-1-980x555.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.betterworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/AI-in-HR-Update-SEO-Internal-1-480x272.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-narrow-ai-versus-strong-ai-what-s-the-difference\">Narrow AI versus strong AI: What\u2019s the difference?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding the difference between narrow AI and strong AI is crucial in recognizing the current and future trends in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betterworks.com\/ai-for-hr\/\">AI for HR<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-narrow-ai\"><strong>Narrow AI<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Tools we use daily, like ChatGPT, Gemini, Alexa, and other smart tools, are classified as narrow AI because they operate within a narrow scope and under limited constraints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All AI solutions in HR today are forms of narrow AI.
