More than a billion jobs will be affected by AI: Can HR create a people-centric workplace?

AI will affect more than 1.1 billion jobs globally in the next three to five years, according to research.

AI will transform all aspects of life and work, affecting every organizational workflow, changing roles, redefining competencies and requiring organizations to not only adapt, but to do so faster than ever.

Almost every existing job will be affected in some way, and in the short term millions of jobs will be eliminated while others will be created.

In the era of AI, can HR become a leader in creating human-centric workplaces and enabling the use of AI?

We believe the answer is YES. And to achieve this, HR needs to develop into a strategic guide and tactical force, nurturing the skills and strategies that organizations and people will need to succeed.

How can HR take advantage of this opportunity and become a leader?

How HR can be a leader and become a pioneer

Here’s how HR can lead the way:

  • Support the ethical integration of AI: Advocate for AI systems that take into account and improve fairness, equality and inclusiveness in the workplace. Systems that not only make organizations more efficient, but also more human.
  • Improve the workforce: Implement AI-oriented educational programs to prepare employees for new AI-based job demands. Focus in particular on improving people-specific skills.
  • Redesign roles for the future: Reshape job descriptions and career paths to align with AI-powered workflows.
