Artificial Intelligence in HR

Artificial intelligence (AI) has exploded into our lives recently. After 45 years of research, computer scientists have developed systems that can talk to us, classify photos, and create images, as well as analyze, modify, and author video and audio content. We created the AI in HR course to help you prepare for both the present and future impacts of AI in your work. As with any new technology, there’s a massive amount of hype, confusion, trepidation, and even fear, around the expanded access and usage of AI.

Course Overview

At The Josh Bersin Company, we have been studying the role of these technologies in HR and L&D for years, and we’ve found that the impact has been, and will continue to be, massive. AI will change our business in fundamental ways, making it faster and easier to do much of our most time-consuming work.

In this course, we will begin by digging into the basics of AI, exploring what our economies look like at this crucial turning point, and what AI technologies may mean for the future of work. We’ll then look at the impact of AI on some of HR's core businesses: talent acquisition, learning & development, talent mobility, and talent intelligence. We’ll examine how AI will create more speed and efficiency in core HR processes that have been time consuming in the past. And we’ll consider how that efficiency can elevate our human-powered roles in HR. Along the way, we will give you a glimpse into the rapidly changing and expanding vendor landscape.

The aim of this course is to give you a primer for the many AI conversations you’re having (or will be having soon) so that you are comfortable, informed, and excited to be a part of solutioning in your organization.

Questions You'll Explore:

  • In what ways will AI impact HR on the whole?

  • What are the core ways that AI is integrated into HR technologies?

  • How is AI already reshaping recruiting and what will come soon?

  • What are the areas of Learning and Development that can be improved with AI applications?

  • How has Talent Mobility been completely revolutionized by AI and what is to come?

  • Why is AI critical to a skills-based approach to organizational design and HR strategy?

Field Manuals

The AI in HR course is made up of 5 Field Manuals (our version of an online module). Each one contains a variety of types of content and social exercises culminating in a mini-project, reflection, or debate. Each Field Manual will take you between 30-45 minutes to complete but you can jump on and off at your own pace, as often as you’d like. The deeper learning happens in the discussions with your fellow learners so be sure to check in on the conversations regularly.

Field Manual Overview:

  • 30 - 45 minutes to complete

    Bite-sized, easy to read modules for an efficient learning experience.

  • Self paced

    You can jump on and off at your own pace, as often as you'd like.

  • Engaging learning modules

    Each field manual contains different types of content and social exercises, all culminating in a mini-project, reflection, or debate.

  • How We Got Here

    Step back from the hype to understand what AI is and how different applications can impact our work in HR. Learn essential vocabulary and get a picture of what AI looks like today—and where it’s likely to go soon.

  • AI in Talent Acquisition

    Talent Acquisition is at the forefront of AI integration. Recruiting chatbots and AI tools that automatically send open jobs to good applicants are already changing the field. What does this mean for TA professionals? How can we learn the tools while bringing forth stronger candidates?

  • AI in Learning and Development

    Learning and Development is essential to organizational growth, but L&D professionals are often bogged down trying to create bespoke, effective training for thousands of unique employees. Learn how AI is beginning to help break up the logjam, using tools like content intelligence, and how L&D professionals can best leverage AI tools.

  • AI in Talent Mobility

    Talent mobility is a newer function in HR—and one that has come into its power because of AI. AI-powered talent marketplaces are transforming how companies are organized and how people move through their careers. Get a front-row seat to this cutting-edge space in this Field Manual.

  • AI in Skills-Based HR Approaches

    Cataloguing, classifying, and applying skills across a workforce has been a somewhat unattainable dream for decades. There has simply been too much data to comb through. AI is changing this, helping organizations redesign their approach to skills and revolutionizing the work that gets done in the organization.

Start your skill development journey.
