In this episode, Traci discusses recent layoffs in HR and the perspective of HR thought leaders on the role of AI in these layoffs. Traci challenges the idea that layoffs are a result of companies investing in AI to drive growth, arguing that it absolves companies of responsibility and creates a competition between humans and AI, which isn’t reasonable. She emphasizes the need to leverage AI rather than employ it, and calls for a more responsible use of AI and characterization of its use by business leaders.
