Our AI for HR webinar last year attracted over 1,500 attendees, eager to understand the potential of this new technology. Since then, AI’s transformative influence remains strong, but what HR truly needs is a toolbox to practically and legally leverage the opportunities AI brings to the profession.
This free webinar will help you avoid costly mistakes. We will highlight how AI can be HR’s most powerful ally, what can and should be embraced, and where caution is necessary. We’ll explore which tasks can be automated and how. We’ll explain how AI can enhance your recruitment capabilities and where challenges may arise. We’ll also examine the vast potential for data-driven decision-making, how to eliminate bias, and how AI can maximise employee satisfaction and retention.
“AI … is going to happen faster and harder than HR people are ready for.” — Laurence Collins, Director of People and HR Analytics, Deloitte

Ten ways AI can change the HR role: benefits, pitfalls and practicalities
Bart Mol
Senior HR Transformation Consultant , KPMG Netherlands
As a millennial Bart grew up in the age of digitalization, he’s passionate about creating a strong user experience when interacting with HR. Providing employees with the optimal employee experience is an absolute must in order to retain and attract talent from the labor market. In the age of digitalization, HR is facing multiple challenges to stay ahead of the curve. While being faced with those challenges, HR is also struggling with organizational goals: cost reduction on staff functions, and a need for higher productivity with a smaller amount of HR professionals. The only solution to this problem is working smarter, not harder. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the key to empowering HR professionals to maintain a healthy work/life balance, while also increasing their productivity. AI is also the key to providing employees with their desired experience while reducing the amount of HR professionals necessary to provide that experience. For the past 8 years, Bart has worked in the employment agency industry and HR Consultancy in various roles, ranging from HR Advisor, to HRBP, and now as Senior Consultant HR Transformation at KPMG. This has given him an interesting perspective by having experienced HR departments from a large variety of industries, and in different levels of maturity. His Master degree in Leadership and Management from the Amsterdam Business school provided him the opportunity to dive into what practices create future-proof organizations. It is his goal to introduce you to the practical side of AI. By now, every organization is convinced AI is the next big revolution, but how to utilize it in the daily operation remains the big question. He hopes to make your AI dreams a reality, let's innovate!
