THE TRANSFORMATIVE ROLE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT: ADOPTION AND IMPACT

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is growing as a transformative role in Human Resources Management (HRM) changing current practices and boosting innovation. This paper examines the adoption factors and the impact of AI in HR practices. Technology readiness, organizational preparation, managerial support, and data quality are important to successful AI deployment. The study identifies various benefits of AI in optimizing human resource functions: increasing productivity, reducing costs, and better decision-making. AI enhances productivity as the technology automates routine operations—such as screening resumes, payroll processing, and interview scheduling—which free up employees working in HR on strategic decisions. AI-powered solutions go even further to help personalized staff training and data-driven performance appraisals for fairness and transparency. However, it underlines that advanced technology should be combined with human-centered approaches in the interest of retaining a healthy organizational culture. Despite its advantages, AI application in human resource management raises ethical concerns about bias in algorithms and data privacy. Addressing these issues requires strong governance and transparent policies. This study sheds light on the current state and potential of AI in HRM, in improving human resource procedures while adhering to ethical guidelines. This study has brought into light the present state and potentiality of AI in HRM for improving human resource procedures within a boundary of ethical guidelines, thereby helping business firms to smooth their HR activities, increasing productivity and developing a great workplace culture. The discussion based on findings gathered from secondary data websites, encourage firms for full implementation of AI, taking care that it supports and does not replace human jobs, paving the path for growing, adaptive, and human-centric approaches to HRM.
