On 30th November, Scholarstown House in Drogheda was the venue for the transformative ‘AI in HR Workshop,’ conducted by Skillnet Ireland with Mark Kelly, founder of AI Ireland, leading the event as the guest lecturer.
The workshop attracted professionals from diverse backgrounds, including Human Resources, Marketing and HR Analytics. Notably, while attendees had varying degrees of AI familiarity, their eagerness to explore AI’s potential in enhancing their roles and companies was palpable.
The workshop commenced with an insightful presentation by Mark Kelly. He delineated the global landscape of AI, highlighting Ireland’s significant contributions, notably referencing the Irish ancestry of AI pioneers John McCarthy and Alan Turing. A critical part of the discussion centered around addressing public concerns about AI, particularly fears about job displacement and societal impacts.
Subsequent sessions delved into practical applications of AI in HR realms such as recruitment, training and development, and strategic decision-making. These segments were enriched with real-life case studies and tool demonstrations, offering participants a tangible understanding of AI’s role in augmenting workforce productivity.
In an important segment, Mark provided an in-depth analysis of the current state of AI regulations in the EU and the US. The workshop concluded with live demonstrations of ChatGPT and insights into how AI Ireland leverages AI for content creation.
Upon completion of the workshop, attendees were awarded an AI Ireland certificate, marking their participation and newfound insights in ‘AI in HR.’ This certification not only symbolises their learning but also serves as a testament to their commitment to integrating AI into HR practices.
Feedback from participants was overwhelmingly positive, with comments highlighting the practical applicability of the content, the quality of preparation and materials, and the interactive nature of the sessions. Attendees left with a deeper understanding of AI’s potential in HR, eagerly anticipating future workshops.
