This is not technology-led change; it's human leadership-led change. Just because we can use AI for something doesn't mean we should." - Zabeen Hirji “With the optimism of AI, we have to work really hard at it though. We have to be deliberate. We have to set objectives, and targets, and hold ourselves accountable to really make this a win-win. Working shorter hours, the flexibility actually allows people to lead that joyous life, to spend time in doing things that they’ve always wanted to.” -Zabeen Hirji References Goldman Sachs Generative AI Study, 2023 - https://www.goldmansachs.com/intelligence/pages/generative-ai-could-raise-global-gdp-by-7-percent.html World Economic Forum - Future of Jobs Report, 2023 - https://bit.ly/3tOQXcL Connect with Zabeen Hirji LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/zabeenhirji/

    The Role of AI in HR with Somen Mondal

    Krystyn Harrison is joined in this episode by Somen Mondal, a serial entrepreneur and industry pioneer in integrating AI into talent products. Somen discusses how he used AI to address biases in the applicant selection process. Unconscious and conscious biases influence decision-making, resulting in poor recruitment choices. Somen and his colleagues employ machine learning and AI to remove biases and improve the recruitment process, making it more effective, faster, and fair. He underlined the significance of retaining the human element with the help of AI to make better-informed decisions.  .      TIMESTAMPS [00:03:12] Making talent decisions. [00:03:23] Avoiding bias in hiring. [00:06:23] Using AI in talent acquisition. [00:10:58] Workplace Intelligence and AI. [00:13:09] Integrating different technologies. [00:17:30] AI-powered HR platform. [00:20:28] Democratization and coaching economics. [00:25:47] AI and DEI. [00:26:30] Measuring and auditing talent decisions. [00:31:01] The importance of Sales and Distribution. [00:33:37] Closing Remarks ·        KEY LESSONS & QUOTES  “I think there needs to be a human element because typically, algorithms and AI aren't going to be able to tell you about the culture at a company or the experience of talking to someone over a coffee is going to give you. So, keeping the H in HR, keeping the human in human resources is very important.”  - Somen Mondal   I would tell companies to make sure they look at the regulations or use a vendor that can explain and help them comply. That ecosystem of being able to prepare data and have it audited, potentially, having the government look at your data if they think something's wrong. I think that's going to happen in the world of AI, specifically when it comes to HR.” - Somen Mondal
