AI and HR

Artificial Intelligence is changing how Human Resources teams work, but it is not replacing human judgment. In this episode, Daphne Thomson sits down with James Moller, a senior Human Resources and labour relations leader with over twenty years of experience, to explore how AI is being used responsibly in HR and recruitment.

The conversation focuses on AI as an efficiency and decision support tool rather than a decision maker. James shares practical examples of how AI can assist with resume screening, data analysis, interview preparation, policy summarization, and administrative workload, freeing HR professionals to focus on people, culture, and sound judgment.

They discuss the growing importance of AI fluency as a workplace skill, the fear of job loss associated with new technologies, and why critical thinking and human oversight remain essential. The episode also explores bias in AI systems, policy alignment, and how organizations can start small by piloting AI tools while maintaining transparency, accountability, and ethical use.

This discussion is especially relevant for HR professionals, leaders, and public sector organizations navigating talent shortages, workload pressures, and the evolving expectations of modern workplaces.

Topics covered include
AI in recruitment and resume screening
AI fluency as an emerging workplace skill
Balancing automation with human judgment
Bias, ethics, and policy alignment in AI use
Practical HR applications of AI
Why critical thinking matters more than ever
