“AI is not just another technology. It is something that will profoundly influence humanity.” - Yoshua Bengio, pioneer of deep learning
Reframing HR in the age of GenAI
For a long time, companies were silently using AI to speed up their own work. Then came a time they put AI into consumer products. And then came ChatGPT in November of 2022. This generative AI storm started affecting work directly. But to use GenAI properly, just hardware is not enough: what firms need is a new approach to workflows, manpower training and goals.
Most GenAI projects slipped
A sad report from MIT Media Lab’s Project NANDA highlighted that models are not confused, but organisations using them are. Workflows often fall short not because AI lacks power but because businesses have not built the right practices to adopt it.
Realigning roles and accountability
As GenAI becomes ubiquitous, the nature of roles is altering. Companies are trying different ways to reinvent themselves in this storm. But organisational clarity is going to be a long road ahead.
Building literacy and clear policies
Employees must be able to work safely with AI. That means developing literacy that goes beyond one-off training. It also means establishing legible governance on acceptable use, bias, mitigation and rights. When people feel confident using tools, adoption becomes meaningful instead of hesitant.
Summary
It is time for organisations to fundamentally rethink HR, workflows and roles to unlock real value from GenAI, beyond the shine and hype. The tool is only as good as the one wielding it.
Food for thought
Are leaders truly prepared to redesign human work culture for an AI first world?
AI concept to learn: AI Agents
AI agents are autonomous systems capable of perceiving their environment, making decisions and taking actions toward defined goals. They can operate continuously, learn from feedback and coordinate with other systems. Beginners should understand how agents structure tasks and respond intelligently to dynamic conditions.
