Thread regarding IBM layoffs

IBM wants to implement AI into HR

It’s like one fiasco wasn’t enough. This article states that IBM i set to use uts AI tools into the sector of human resources, with the goal of making better and easier decisions in talent recruiting and in general HR operations. Think that this isn’t going to bring anything good. Watson failed in healthcare, failing in HR could be the final nail in its coffin.

Personally, I think this might be an improvement over the current HR system. :-)

Judging by how badly IBM HR messed up my paperwork and payments after I was laid off, I suspect HR was already replaced by Watson.

IBM has been using some form AI the past few years in HR to forecast who is a flight risk. This s not new. Just more hype.

You have great faith in BIG BLUE. Watson is a disaster. It's diagnosis in Cancer results in potential DEATH of patient. Oh, that is good? HR is not a science, it is an art and Watson cannot do that.

But, but....

According to IBM, its suite of AI tools can help HR become a growth engine to enable digital transformation.

Doesn't that mean that it's going to be great?
