Like a Cog in a Machine: The Effectiveness of AI-Powered Human Resourcing
Abstract
Similar to its sisters, the Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0) has sparked varying sentiments and views regarding the ethicality and effectiveness of employing artificial intelligence (AI) tools in human resource management (HRM) in a way that triggers the need for a synthesis of current published work on the different views in that respect. This chapter presents an attempt to engage the different cogs with each other so the millstone will go around, and an updated understanding of AI-powered HRM from different angles is provided. This work reviews the main concepts revolving around AI and Industry 4.0. Also, it offers an up-to-date investigation of AI uses in HRM (e.g., People Analytics) and what risks or ethical concerns are being argued in contemporary discourse.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
