Let’s start with the basics

We have seen people interchangeably use the terms AI and Generative AI. They aren't the same thing.

Why is this important for HR?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to machines' capacity to emulate human-like intelligence, undertaking problem-solving and decision-making tasks. AI tools can analyze and process data, generate insights and predictions, and automate intricate processes.

Gen AI

Generative AI, a subtype of AI, creates content like text or images by learning patterns from training data and producing new data. Examples include ChatGPT and DALL-E.

Getting started: Generative AI prompts

Generative AI, when prompted effectively, enhances HR efficiency and handles time-consuming tasks, freeing you to focus on high-impact work. For instance, in recruiting, tools like ChatGPT assist in generating, translating, and reviewing job descriptions. Plus, the easiest thing for anyone including HR to familiarise yourself with the technology is to test and have fun with its abilities. That's the right way to start.

Try prompting with for e.g. ChatGPT to create a job description using the template below. Replace the bolded parts with terms relevant to your organization:

"Assist in drafting a compelling job description for the position of [Job Title] at [Your Company]. Highlight key responsibilities, qualifications, and any unique aspects that would attract top talent. Additionally, review the description for any potential biases and propose adjustments for inclusivity"
