Will HR positions survive the rise of AI?
I often see the media sharing articles about layoffs due to AI, how junior programmer positions are less in demand, how there is also a decreased interest in copywriters and graphic designers, etc.
About 2 weeks ago, Teammates launched a tool (AI HR-ist), and right now I came across a post from a local marketer who shared interesting data about Ask AI (an internal AI/chatbot system), which today handles almost 94% of all routine HR requests, such as:
vacation requests
onboarding new employees
payroll information and attendance records
benefit selection and answers to basic employment questions
Results of AI implementation at IBM
94% of the HR agenda is automated
Payroll, vacation, administration – even terminations have been automated
$3.5 billion saved
40% drop in HR costs
IBM also claims that employees are happier. The HR department’s internal NPS score increased from -35 to +74 after the implementation of AskHR (source: HR Asia). 6% of questions are still directed at people – AI has not yet completely replaced complex or emotionally sensitive situations.
How do you see it with HR positions (+ white collar positions) in big corporations after acquiring AI?
Maybe the specific question is for your region. :-)
