March 20189 recommendations based on their job role, level, learning history, and other intelligence we find from various data sources. With more and more predictive analytics made available to us today, humans are enabled to make constructive business decisions accordingly. Potential Risks and Limitations AI is becoming one of the key enablers of digital transformation, but this is just the beginning. As HR professionals, we must start harnessing the exploration of what we can do with AI. Of course, we will also need to be wary of the potential risks and limitations of AI around transparency, privacy and bias, and how we can turn those into opportunities for the community.Machines, like humans have bias. Machine learns whatever the data provides, but there could be prior human intervention that influences the input data and create bias elements. Take a simple example outside the context of HR: based on the history of medical research, having diabetes has a high positive correlation to the development of a heart disease and getting a heart attack. However, when we feed the data into the machine and try to learn the key characteristics of a patient that makes him or her having higher chance of a fatal heart attack, interestingly, being diagnosed with diabetes is not one of the top traits of people having a high chance of getting a heart attack. There is nothing wrong with the machine, just that, it is learning the bias due to prior human intervention. Patients with diabetes receive regular medical care, thus the preventive actions that are taken to lower the chances of a sudden heart attack is then reflected on the data. Embrace the Reinventions of AI: The Real Drivers of Digital TransformationIt is now the time to unleash our innovative power and allow AI to disrupt our way of thinking; re-defining our path of achieving productivity gain and reshaping new business models. Humans are now taking on new challenges of filling in the gap in areas that AI has limitations on. We are in the stage of needing to make decisions on when and how we utilize AI going forward. Successful transformation comes with the growth mindset and a well-thought change management strategy and execution. Digital transformation comes a little easier to global technology companies, not because of the availability of high-tech solutions, but because of the culture of encouraging innovation and embracing changes. THE MOST OBVIOUS AND COMMON USE OF AI IN HR IS IN THE SPACE OF TALENT ACQUISITION, WHICH REQUIRES ATTRACTING AND BRINGING IN THE RIGHT TALENT AT THE RIGHT TIME
