| description | This paper examines the key factors recognized as transformative in the field of human resource management (HRM) and explores their influence on the global adoption of artificial intelligence (AI). While AI holds significant promise for enhancing HRM efficiency, employee engagement, and Decision Making, its implementation presents a range of organizational, technical, and ethical challenges that organizations worldwide must navigate. Change aversion, data security worries, and integration expenses are major roadblocks, but strong digital leadership, company culture, and advancements in NLP and machine learning are key enablers. This paper presents a complex analysis that questions the common perception of AI as only disruptive by delving into the relationship between power dynamics, corporate culture, and technology infrastructures. In this paper, we bring together research from several fields to help scholars and practitioners understand the nuances of AI adoption in HRM, with an emphasis on the importance of inclusive methods and ethical frameworks. |
