HR Professionals Warned That AI Could Make Their Function Extinct
At the SHRM26 conference in Orlando, Florida, speakers painted a stark picture for the HR industry, warning that AI poses an 'extinction' threat to the function as it currently exists. Researchers say HR needs to fundamentally redesign how work gets done, not just experiment at the edges with AI tools. Separately, experts warned that employees using their own personal AI tools at work — known as 'bring your own AI' — creates serious compliance and accuracy risks for employers.
