Artificial intelligence has become a part of how people operate on a daily basis. More than two-thirds of consumers use AI today without even really noticing — usually in the form of navigation, virtual assistants and that annoying yet entertaining feature on your smartphone that auto-fills your text messages.

The benefits of AI from the business perspective are clear in the forms of increased efficiencies, robust data mining and analytics and improved customer relationship management. AI has reinvented what we do and how we get it done. Now, human resources leaders must reinvent HR functions to drive effective talent strategies and sustain results — and they will need AI to do it.

AI helps to meet job seekers’ expectations by providing online live chat, automated interview scheduling and interview feedback. And AI can match candidates to several jobs beyond the ones they applied for.
