Unlocking the Power of AI

Transforming the Workplace -

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is emerging as a game-changer, and its influence significantly shapes how companies manage their workforce. Integrating AI, particularly in recruitment, has proven to streamline processes and enhance productivity.

A Valuable Asset in HR -

Nadia Alaee, Senior Director at Deel, a cutting-edge software company, emphasises the importance of AI skills in various roles, not just limited to technical positions. The surge in AI technology, such as ChatGPT, has opened doors for individuals who can leverage these tools to optimize tasks and enhance efficiency. Alaee highlights that expertise in AI tools not only benefits the HR team but is a valuable asset company-wide.

A Global Trend -

The advent of generative AI, exemplified by tools like ChatGPT, has marked a transformative wave. This form of AI can produce diverse content, from code to artwork and essays, presenting an affordable and rapid solution for businesses. LinkedIn's report reveals that job postings mentioning AI or generative AI have more than doubled globally in the past two years, signifying the widespread recognition of AI's potential impact.

Balancing Efficiency and Personalisation

While AI brings undeniable efficiency benefits, Nadia Alaee at Deel acknowledges the need for a human touch. Ensuring responses aren't robotic or generic is crucial, particularly in performance reviews. Striking the right balance is essential to avoid misinterpretations, policy violations, and potential biases embedded in AI systems.

A Path Forward -

LinkedIn reports that 38% of UK workers foresee significant changes to their jobs due to AI, with excitement tempered by a perceived learning curve. Ngaire Moyes, UK Country Manager at LinkedIn, emphasises the potential of AI to remove drudgery, enhance productivity, and create room for strategic and creative work. AI literacy, and understanding how to use AI tools effectively, becomes paramount.

A Collaborative Future -

Paola Dyboski, founder of Dr Zigs, emphasises the surprising resistance to AI adoption in some sectors. To bridge this gap, experimentation with free AI tools, online courses, and a shift in focus from efficiency to improvement are recommended. AI is envisioned not as a replacement but as a tool to help individuals perform their roles more effectively.
