1moThis is a fascinating look at how AI is reshaping the HR landscape. The gains in efficiency and strategic focus are impressive—especially when AI is used to enhance, not replace, the human side of HR. That said, it raises important questions about fairness, transparency, and the candidate experience. As we move forward, it will be critical to strike the right balance between innovation and empathy.
