25 Sep 2023
Was it ever possible for our first AI episode to not be a two-parter? Probably not. So we’re back today with more thoughts on AI and the Future of HR. In this miniseries, Brave New Work’s Rodney Evans is joined by friend-of-the-pod and Ready OG Sam Spurlin to dive into how HR can become more resilient, efficient, and equitable. Last week, they dove into the AI pool to begin filtering out the noise about how this coming wave will impact all of us. Today on episode 9, Rodney and Sam keep swimming around the deep end. Which reminds us: If you haven’t yet listened to last week’s episode, do that first for some important context (and jokes)! On Part 2, they discuss: How AI tools could help HR finally make progress on historically un-winnable battles What automation really means for most jobs and how we perceive our value and identity in the workplace Experiments you can run on your own if your company isn’t already playing around with AI Mentioned references: "Meg's episode" (discussion actually takes place in Hebba's episode, starting at around 44:27) HR's new future of work skill episodes: Part 1, and Part 2 ChatGPT Midjourney -------------- Learn more about The Future of HR at our website.
