The traditional narrative when it comes to discussing the impact of artificial intelligence on HR revolves around the jobs that will be lost. It's a largely negative picture of the disruption that AI is likely to bring to work as we know it, but it need not be like this. Indeed, most of the applications of AI in HR today have been supportive of the work HR people do. An excellent example of this comes from one of the pioneers of AI, whose AI-driven products are used by billions every day. Search giant Google has been using AI to help power the internal talent deployment platform that sits at the heart of gTech, the company's support and operations division, that helps users and partners get the most out of the company's vast range of products and services.
