Dianna, although the use of AI in HRM research is not new, recent studies have increased in this area. A range of possibilities abound as shown in the following emerging studies in this aspect:
Vrontis, D., Christofi, M., Pereira, V., Tarba, S., Makrides, A., & Trichina, E. (2021). Artificial intelligence, robotics, advanced technologies and human resource management: a systematic review. The International Journal of Human Resource Management, 1-30.

All the best in this interesting and emerging field.
To all interested in research (and researchers) on AI in HR: The publisher Edward Elgar has publish the "Handbook of Research on Artificial Intelligence in Human Resource Management".
Here is a brief description:
"The current handbook offers a first systematic introduction into the currently emerging intriguing research field of artificial intelligence in human resource management. Twenty chapters systematically elaborate on this new field of research. Readers get a structured introduction to the individual fields of AI relevant for HR. While (research on) Machine Learning in HR constitutes a focus, the handbook also systematically covers (research on) Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, Robotic Process Automation, Evolutionary Computing, Natural Language Processing, and Affective Computing in HR. Beyond, the handbook systematically introduces into normative issues by discussing the explainability, fairness, accountability, and legitimacy of AI in HR. Finally, also approaches of researching AI in HR and of employing AI in HR research are tackled. The structure of the handbook allows for selectively deepening chapters of individual interest or else gaining a comprehensive overview on AI in HR by step by step working through the chapters."

Hi Dianna! There is a recent special issue on "Algorithmic human resource management" in the International Journal of Human Resource Management:
Meijerink, J., Boons, M., Keegan, A., & Marler, J. 2021. Algorithmic human resource management: Synthesizing developments and cross-disciplinary insights on digital HRM. The International Journal of Human Resource Management, 0(0): 1–18.
There are several interesting articles, amongst them our work on how algorithmic management shapes HRM perceptions and practices in the gig economy. The article might be interesting as it takes a workers' perspective on how algorithmic management might shape HR processes and outcomes.
Article Controlled by the algorithm, coached by the crowd – how HRM ...
Hope you will find it useful - certainly a very interesting area of research!
I have completed Ph.D. in HR Technology and HR Role in Indian organization (March 21). Further interested to take up the new research involving ML and AI in HRM in India.
The special issue on the dark side of analytics and artificial intelligence in the European Journal of Information Systems is worth looking into. Our manuscript specifically focuses on the dark sides of people analytics (and people analytics being part of HRM, this might interest you (open-access)).
Giermindl, L., Strich, F., Christ, O., Leicht-Deobald, U. & Redzepi, A. (2021). The dark sides of people analytics: reviewing the perils for organisations and employees, European Journal of Information Systems, DOI: 10.1080/0960085X.2021.1927213 📷
I mostly draw on available research but also conduct rather practitioner-oriented studies (currently, I am interested in combining Sentiment Analysis with ONA)

I Would suggest to have a look at the work by Elmira and colleagues, e.g.,
van den Broek, E., Sergeeva, A., & Huysman, M. (2021). WHEN THE MACHINE MEETS THE EXPERT: AN ETHNOGRAPHY OF DEVELOPING AI FOR HIRING. MIS Quarterly, 45(3).
Would the researchers who noted that they are doing research on AI or machine learning and HRM be interested in submitting a paper to Research in HRM. It is peer reviewed. Please let me know. I can make no promises about an issue now. Thanks, Dianna
Hi Dianna, you might find interest in our recent study (with Madalina Busuioc) where we investigated, experimentally, Human-algorithm interaction in the public sector context, specifically in relation to a case of HRM (in public schools).

Thank you for all of your responses to my question about AI and HRM research. If there is enough interest, we might be able to publish a special issue of Research in HRM on AI.
Would you be interested in making a contribution to Research in HRM on the topic of AI and HRM? If we have enough interest we will sponsor a special issue on the topic.
We are not going to be able to publish a special issue of Res in HRM on the topic of AI and HRM right now. I will post a CFP when we can publish an issue on the topic.
Kimberly M. Lukaszewski is going to serve as Lead Editor for an issue of Research in HRM on "Emerging Technologies in Human Resource Management." The call for papers will be posted in early 2024. Topics include: AI, Machine Learning, Chatgbt, chatbots, robotics, etc.
Please email her at [email protected] if you would like to submit a paper.
