Jamie Field, associate professor of management at the John Chambers College
of Business and Economics, has always had a strong belief that Chambers students
who wanted to become HR professionals have to embrace new technology and get comfortable
with data analysis. The emergence of breakthrough AI technologies only strengthened
his belief that it was time to bring together students, faculty, business professionals,
and community members to showcase cutting-edge insights into how artificial intelligence
is reshaping the future of
Human Resource Management.
Professor Field didn’t have to convince me that his idea of an AI in Human Resource
Management conference was a great one. I immediately thought about the impact of
the conference as it creates a platform where scholars, industry leaders, and students
can explore responsible and innovative uses of AI in human resource management.
