AI for HR and people teams: useful, fair and careful
People work involves sensitive information and decisions about individuals. AI can help with drafting and analysis, with firm boundaries.
By the Halden editorial team
Safe starting points
Drafting and summarising.
Job descriptions, onboarding checklists, policy summaries and learning plans are helpful uses where a person reviews the output.
Boundaries
Decisions stay human.
Hiring, performance and disciplinary decisions should not be delegated to a model. Use AI to prepare, not to decide.
Data and fairness
Personal information needs care.
Avoid entering personal data into tools not approved for it, check local regulation, and test outputs for bias with diverse examples.
- Use approved tools only.
- Minimise personal data.
- Test for bias.
Be transparent
Tell people how AI is used.
Explain to employees and candidates where AI supports the process and how to raise a concern.
A next step
Turn this into a decision for your organization.
