On November 26, JIMS Rohini, Sector 5, hosted a captivating and thought-provoking session on the theme "AI in HR", delivered by Mr. Rupak Aggarwal, Co-Founder and CEO of EvueMe. The event attracted students and faculty eager to explore how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the field of Human Resources.
AI: Transforming the HR Landscape
Mr. Aggarwal set the stage by introducing the fundamentals of AI, describing it as a powerful technology designed to analyze patterns and deliver customized solutions. He explained how AI algorithms simulate human decision-making processes but operate with unmatched speed, precision, and scalability.
In a fascinating comparison, he outlined the key differences between the capabilities of the AI "brain" and the human brain. While AI excels in data processing and predictive analysis, Mr. Aggarwal emphasized that human intelligence remains irreplaceable in areas requiring creativity, empathy, and nuanced judgment.
Real-World Applications of AI in HR
The session took a practical turn as Mr. Aggarwal shared compelling examples of AI's impact on modern HR practices. Key highlights included:
- AI-Powered Chatbots for Recruitment: Enhancing candidate experience by automating routine tasks such as screening resumes and scheduling interviews.
- Predictive Analytics in Talent Management: Enabling organizations to anticipate workforce trends, identify high-potential employees, and optimize succession planning.
- Algorithm-Driven Compensation Planning: Ensuring equitable and data-driven decisions in salary structures and benefits.
- Streamlined HR Processes: From hiring and onboarding to employee engagement and skill development, AI is enabling HR professionals to focus on strategic initiatives while automating repetitive tasks.
Through these examples, Mr. Aggarwal demonstrated how AI tools are transforming traditional HR operations, making them more efficient, equitable, and data-driven.
"Master AI Before AI Masters Us"
A key takeaway from the session was Mr. Aggarwal’s advice: “Master AI before AI masters us.” This statement underscored the urgency for professionals and students to develop a deeper understanding of AI and its applications. He stressed that while AI is a powerful enabler, mastering its potential requires ongoing learning, adaptability, and ethical awareness.
An Interactive and Enriching Experience
The session concluded with a lively Q&A, where students posed insightful questions about the ethical implications of AI in HR, the future of work, and how to stay competitive in an AI-driven world. Mr. Aggarwal’s responses highlighted the importance of balancing technology adoption with a human-centric approach, ensuring that AI enhances rather than replaces human roles in HR.
The event was both interactive and enriching, leaving participants inspired and informed about the possibilities AI offers to the field of HR./p>
