AI vs. Human Analysis - Who is the Master of the Analysis & Why is that an Important Question?

Wed. June 14, 2023 08:30 am - 10:30 am !Graybar Building - Conference Center New York, NY 10170

AI, is without doubt one of the key technologies influencing the future, as such it holds many promises as well as some serious challenges. For starters: Artificial intelligence is a very broad term that is used widely in a variety of contexts today, yet there is no accepted definition. AI is not a single technology, but a spectrum of solutions and processes with the purpose to analyze huge amounts of data and subsequently perform standardized tasks including learning, evaluating and solving problems. A process for which, in the past, we relied on HI (human intelligence). The distinguishing feature that takes AI beyond plain data analysis is that AI systems have a degree of adaptability and even autonomy.

The EU’s AI Act considers AI used in the HR sector as high-risk and with this designating come a number of required safeguards, such as human-in-the-loop and minimum documentation standards. The usage of AI in HR covers the entire cycle of working life, from recruiting and personnel management to long-term personnel development.

Despite the potential that the use of AI offers companies, AI analysis especially in HR also raises important questions. Legislation around AI in many other jurisdictions is lagging far behind the rapid advancements in AI technology and many important questions have not yet been addressed.

Our panel will discuss issues such as:
• Why is AI and human analysis on everyone’s mind and how has these issues evolved, and why are we discussing this now?
• AI & Diversity/Equality: Is AI a better, more objective decision-maker?
• Who is the master of human analysis and is that who we want it to be in the future?
• Do we need safety nets and what would those look like, are they foolproof?
• Is AI more likely an opportunity or rather a danger, esp. in the highly sensitive environment of HR?
• What are some of the most common applications and what have we learned so far?
• What is the current status of AI legislation in NY/US, Europe, UK?
• Putting the Cart before the Code: What are the challenges when legislating AI?
• What challenges do companies face when implementing AI-driven analysis?
• How will AI change how we work and the labor market as a whole?
• What do we want? What is the ideal use of AI in making choices about humans and notably in the work context?
