Introduction

0:28 Hello learners, welcome back to the course on AI in human resource management. We move almost to the last end of the particular course of AI in human resource management and typically for the last I had reserved a certain discussion on whether the coexistence of artificial intelligence and human resource management is at the boon or curse. Now this is a debatable topic at least for now but I would like to bring in different perspectives. Understand that it from different dimensions and see how we generally see it as a boon or a curse and how we can navigate if it is a curse.

0:57 So we will look deeply into what exactly AI and HR with the understanding we have made from the last few modules. I'll try to make it a refreshing approach with respect to the boon or curse when you are looking into the coexistence of HR and AI. I'm Dr. Abraham Cyril Issac. I'm an assistant professor at the School of Business, Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati. Now, when you look into the coexistence of HR and AI, we have to see that it is not mere technology that has come in.

1:28 It is more than that. With the influx of artificial intelligence and its technology, we see that there has been a lot of development with respect to the efficiency part of the organization. And specifically, that is a welcome move when you're looking into the traditional mundane activities, which was otherwise impossible. Very highly restrictive and there were not many of the creative practices that could have been there. But let's look into that from an angle where you see the coexistence of both.

1:58 Now let's define the coexistence of both of these separately. The first one to understand the basics would be the integration of AI in HR, which certainly sparks a debate. Now let's look into the rapid advancements. We have seen across
