AI can already do the majority of the tasks that HR currently does. AI isn't the only threat HR. HR positions get outsourced significantly to cut down on costs already. Not to mention, if most jobs are automated, why would I, as a business owner, need to hire? Even if there were positions available, the compensation would be very little.

Human Resources is largely reliant on interpersonal connections and relationships to employees in the workforce.

Human element of dealing with issues - I don't believe that AI would be capable of fulfilling this aspect of the role and complexity of problem solving required currently

i don't think that machines can ever understand what a human is going through and can never solve the actual problem. some amount of interpersonal skills are required.

I think my occupation will be hard to replace because it requires a lot of soft skills, like empathy, active listening, and a keen perception of others. These human competencies are not easily replicated by machines.

Without a doubt, HR will be replaced by AI in the next 10-15 years.

Replacing HR with AI will mitigate bias and ego. This will be the beginning of authentic, merit-based hiring practices.

It will also yield higher profits for companies.

HRM will always need human interventions in order to function accurately. AI and automation can speed up tedious and repetitive tasks such as candidate sourcing and screening in Talent Acquisition. But HRM will always require a human touch. No machines are able to understand human behavior the way we do, at least not in our work lifetimes.

A.I interviews through Quinncia etc. and resume scanning I believe, will decrease employment in this field.

They get fooled by some people that later do poorly at their job. It could be solved using AI. We are all humans, we are all biased.

We can automate all the processes involved in managing human resources for an organization, however, productivity will always require human processes of trust, empathy, orientation, focus and resilience. By nature, human beings are gregarious and it is in their DNA to socialize.

As automation effects jobs under human resources it will no doubt effect human resources themselves

HR will go away when all types of jobs are eventually replaced and there is no more human capital to manage and complex relations, conflict management and organizational structure to change. Payroll/administration jobs in HR will probably be automated in the next 10-15 years but the “human” in Human Resources is not going away until most other jobs have as well.

As long as HR provides the personal touch and emphatic ear, it will be difficult for AI to replicate the outcome whole making business count

Because dealing with people requires a profound understanding of people’s feelings and behaviours as well as some psychological conditions.
