Over the past few years the conversations around AI and automation have taken center stage. Some people are excited to embrace the growth of AI, while others are frightened and worried about how our jobs and our lives will change because of it. But there's still a lot of confusion around AI. What is it? Why is it becoming a focal point today? What are the challenges and benefits around AI? What can we do prepare and make sure that we not only stay relevant but thrive in a technology driven world?
Humans have long been obsessed with creating AI ever since the question, “Can machines think?”was posed by Alan Turing in 1950. With the prediction that AI will grow over 150% this year over last year, it is clear that this trend is not going anywhere anytime soon and it is impacting every industry and every geography. One thing that is clear is that AI is a big part of the future of work, so get ready.

4 年This is really interesting. I think we'll definitely start to see more AI incorporated, especially within the HR space. You can already see bits of AI being used in talent acquisition via applicant tracking systems (ATS), but I think over time, we'll see more AI implemented in areas like onboarding, learning & development, and more. Eventually, AI will be incorporated in almost every function and industry in some capacity. Great post!
