DOI: AI in HR: Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Transforming Human Resources
Sambit Panigrahi , Senior HRIT Analyst, Vitas Healthcare Miami, USAAbstract
The article examines the impact of artificial intelligence on the transformation of human resource management functions, analyzing the practices of embedding AI modules in the Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM platform and assessing their economic and strategic effects. Against the backdrop of rapid growth in AI penetration into business processes and active participation of HR units in the selection of AI solutions, the relevance of this study is determined by the need to optimize recruitment, retention and development of personnel, as well as to free up to 12 hours of working time per week for strategic tasks. The novelty of the work lies in its comprehensive approach, combining an overview of industry surveys (McKinsey, Engagedly, SHRM), analysis of Oracle technical documentation (Dynamic Skills, Skills Nexus, Activity Centers, Fusion HCM Analytics), and corporate case studies (Carv, Candidate, Forrester-TEI, Adecco). Data have been synthesized concerning the level of HR-task automation, the architecture of Oracle’s unified object model, and the contributions of pre-trained AI agents in recruiting processes, employee performance appraisal, and benefits management. The main findings demonstrate that AI implementation in HR ensures a significant reduction in routine operations (81% of respondents consider automation a priority), improvement of employee experience (73%), decrease in time-to-hire (by up to 70% through automated interview scheduling) and enhanced accuracy of candidate selection (a 14% increase in diversified responses). Using the Dynamic Skills module creates a “live” competency inventory, Activity Centers prompt the “next best action,” and the Digital Assistant and other chatbots return up to one hour per day to employees. Additionally, the author has proposed the Set-up Extractor Tool for automating the migration of Oracle HCM Cloud configurations, eliminating the risks of manual copying and version conflicts. The article will be helpful to HR service leaders, HR-technology implementation specialists, and digital transformation consultants.
