'From inspiration to action' is the crux of People Matters TechHR India 2024. The trending HR conference seems to be in cahoots with the latest Gen AI, which has also jumped on the 'experimentation to action' bandwagon.
Recently, GPT-4o was made available to the public for free, bringing OpenAI founder Sam Altman's vision into the real world.
When we started OpenAI, our original vision was to create AI and use it to do all sorts of good for the world. But now we've moved on to creating AI and other people using it to create all sorts of amazing things that we all benefit from.
In fact, companies are taking all the steps to bring the benefits of generative AI to their people and organizations: A survey of CHROs conducted by the Conference Board in late 2023 found that 61% of respondents plan to invest in AI in 2024 to streamline HR processes.
The applications of AI in HR are manifold. It can transform the HR experience, be it candidate experience with AI-created job descriptions and interview guides, employee experience with personalized learning interventions, engagement surveys, smart policy creation, etc. Driven by the demand for productivity and efficiency, businesses are already shifting their focus on AI beyond just implementing chatbots and experimenting with trendy tools. Adoption of AI is likely to accelerate India's growth trajectory.

Will AI empower and empower humans or will it take jobs and cause social unrest? HR leaders are constantly searching for the right answers to these questions and more. A unanimous consensus emerges: In the age of AI, enhancing human capabilities like curiosity, empathy and language will be even more important. Gain a practical perspective in the keynote “Being Human in the Age of AI” by Jaspreet Bindra, MD of Tech Whisperer, as we unravel the mysteries of generative AI and how it will transform work, enterprises and humanity itself. Another power panel on “The Rise of Collaborative Humans and Machines” will also touch upon the journey to build a future-ready, ethically responsible and sustainable ecosystem that fosters the synergy of human creativity and machine precision.
Resilience: HR leaders are struggling to manage the challenges posed by AI, including data protection, governance, and ethical concerns. The key to maximizing the benefits and minimizing the risks of HR technology is to integrate it into organizational culture. The keynote session, “A Culture of AI: Befriending Emerging Technologies for Greater Efficiency,” will enlighten employees on how to not only set aside fears of losing their jobs to artificial intelligence, but also actively welcome AI as a collaborative ally in their personal and professional growth. Now is the time for CHROs to exert a significant influence in shaping resilient organizations, and “CHRO Panel: CHRO's Role as Architect of Resilience and Performance” will provide actionable insights in this area.
