AI has become the future of HR and is transforming the way human resources professionals operate. It has encompassed almost every sectors of the society? Is it going to replace human resources in future?
Now a days, AI play a vital role in every aspect of human life doing from simple to complex tasks, small to large environments, civil to military industries … We are heading in a situation that makes things difficult to think of automated tasks without AI like HR, health, ... However, there are also situations where AI can have both negative and positive effects. For example if you think of AI in Cyber security, it significantly boosts cyber security defenses by improving threat detection and response, it also empowers attackers with tools to launch more advanced and rapid attacks. The dual impact underscores the need for continuous innovation and vigilance in such field. What do think its dual impact in other areas?
Not precisely,however, it's complementing the efforts of HR professionals. AI can't operate in isolation. For it to achieve greater efficiency HR professionals must guide it we to give the needed results. Replacing HR professionals seem impossible but it could reduce HR professionals needed within an organisation.

Its not a research article. Its a discussion. You can also participate.
It could try that. But, it has become clear that AI cannot yet "mimic" candor, compassion and critical thinking. It relies on some cold, dry and insubstantial algorithms.

Thank you very much for your contribution in the discussion.
I do not think AI can replace humans, but it will definitely disrupt the field of HR and other professions. As you can see, HR departments do not rely on the same amount of people to complete the same amount of tasks. Organizations are more "efficient."
However, one must wonder if the development of this new technology will be use on the detriment our society. If organizations and citizens become heavily dependent on this new technology then what is our purpose here?
We need to wait to see the results while we use the technology cautiously.

AI is best thought of as a resource or a tool. It will impact on HR practice (and its philosophy) such that HR management and development will be different. That is the nature of change.
I can see the HR profession changing with line managers becoming the real HR managers (of their people). Processes will become more effective and more accessible.
AI of course has to become much more reliable for it to be useful.
Perhaps the procedural aspects of HR will disappear or transit to line managers. What might it leave for the HR professional? Possibly a more consultant/technical kind of role, developing new approaches and supporting their effective implementation.
That is already happening. AI might accelerate this.
The biggest danger is that AI will support much of the mythology in HR practice. The profession is awash with poorly evidenced practices and ideas that get in the way of true optimization of the person.
It has the potential for customisation - treating everyone as an individual and that that this means and not treating them as a type (or worse still as a colour!).
You ask a great question. As ever with a simple question, there is a great deal of complexity to consider.
I am exploring the possibilities of digitizing non-physical management objects, such as values, requirements, ideas, strategies, and relationships, etc. as well as creating digital twins for them. I believe it is quite possible to create artificial intelligence to replace humans in developing management solutions. In any case, this intelligence would work exclusively under human instructions, including those of an extremist. This is the main challenge of artificial intelligence.
I suggest you watch the film:
"WALL-E is a 2008 American animated science fiction film produced by Pixar Animation Studios for Walt Disney Pictures"
It's an extreme practical example, close to the answer to your question. And draw your conclusions.
Still, notice that it takes a person to steer the spaceship.
Agustín Moreno-Ruz Thank you very much for the suggestion and participation in the discussion.
AI is unlikely to replace human resources but will definitely change the face of HR. AI can automate routine tasks such as resume screening, scheduling, and data analysis, improving efficiency and decision-making. Yet, HR involves emotional intelligence, critical thinking, and complex problem-solving-skills that AI alone cannot replicate. Instead of replacing HR professionals, AI will augment their roles with the ability to focus on strategic planning, employee engagement, and workplace culture.@Madan Biswal
