How Generative AI is Transforming HR Leaders into Data Scientists

24/10/2024

As we stand on the brink of a technological revolution, HR leaders are being called to embrace a future that seemed unimaginable just a few years ago. Generative AI (gen AI) is not only reshaping industries; it’s transforming how HR professionals approach workforce managementskill development, and talent retention.

Recent research by BCG Henderson Institute, BCG X, and Boston University has provided fascinating insights into how gen AI is augmenting human capabilities. Their experiment, involving 480 consultants, showed that workers—including HR leaders—could perform tasks beyond their traditional expertise, such as writing code and building predictive models, when paired with gen AI.

How Generative AI is Transforming HR Leaders into Data Scientists

This brings us to an intriguing question: Could Human Resource professionals become data scientists? 

Surprisingly, with the right tools, the answer seems to be “Yes.”

The Rise of the Gen AI-Augmented HR Leader

The study, which compared the AI-assisted performance of consultants to that of data scientists, revealed that participants using gen AI achieved 86% of the data scientists’ benchmark performance. Even more impressive, they completed tasks 10% faster than their non-AI-augmented counterparts. This showcases that AI is not just an enhancement—it’s a game-changer for professionals in non-technical roles like HR.

Dan Sack, a BCG managing director and co-author of the study, emphasizes the critical shift that HR leaders must prepare for. He writes, “Executives need to redefine expertise and identify the skills to grow and retain their talent for the long term.”

Redefining Expertise in the Age of AI

As generative AI continues to evolve, it’s reshaping how we understand skills and workforce capabilities. HR leaders must rethink the foundations of workforce planning and skill development. It’s no longer just about hiring individuals with today’s skills—it’s about fostering adaptability and leveraging AI tools to handle tasks beyond traditional skill sets.

For HR, this means integrating gen AI into talent acquisition, employee development, and retention strategies. By embracing a data-driven, AI-augmented approach, HR leaders can help their teams exceed expectations and tackle challenges that once seemed out of reach.

HR Tech in Action: Real-World Applications

We’re already seeing significant shifts in the HR tech landscape. For instance, Oyster, a global employment platform, raised $59 million in Series D funding to enhance its ability to attract and retain talent for distributed teams. Similarly, Skillsoft is leveraging AI for compliance training, while Papaya Global is streamlining global payroll setup for large enterprises, showcasing how AI is driving innovation in HR processes.

Preparing for an AI-Driven Future in HR

As AI continues to transform Human Resources, it’s critical for leaders to take a proactive approach. The future workforce will combine human intelligence with AI augmentation to achieve breakthroughs that were unimaginable just a few years ago.

HR leaders must:

  • Invest in AI training for their teams to maximize the potential of these tools.
  • Adopt a data-driven approach to workforce planning, using AI to predict trends and inform decision-making.
  • Cultivate a culture of continuous learning where employees grow alongside AI advancements.

By doing so, HR professionals won’t just keep pace with technology—they will lead the charge, helping their organizations thrive in the age of AI.
