In April 2025, AI Ireland Training hosted a practical and inspiring workshop dedicated to optimising AI in HR. Led by Mark Kelly, AI Ireland Founder and one of Europe’s leading voices on artificial intelligence, the session brought together HR professionals from across Ireland to explore how to apply AI in everyday HR workflows – responsibly, effectively and strategically.
Whether you’re an HR Director, People Manager or Talent Acquisition lead, this AI Ireland workshop provided the tools, frameworks and real-world use cases needed to bring AI into the heart of your HR strategy.
Optimising AI in HR: From Buzz to Business Value
AI is no longer a futuristic concept in HR – it’s already here. From AI-powered recruitment tools to automated onboarding, HR analytics and employee sentiment tracking, AI is transforming how we manage people.
At AI Ireland Training, our mission is to help HR leaders understand these changes and take the lead. Why? Because HR plays a central role in aligning people, culture, and technology. If AI is going to succeed in the workplace, it must be introduced in a way that supports human values – and that means HR needs to be in the driving seat.
What to Expect from AI Ireland’s HR Workshop
Held in Carlow, this AI training workshop delivered a half-day of immersive, hands-on learning designed specifically for HR teams. Participants explored high-impact tools and techniques to streamline workflows, enhance productivity and build future-ready HR functions.
Key areas covered included:
- How to use AI in recruitment and candidate selection
- Automating HR tasks such as interview scheduling and admin
- Creating presentations and documents with generative AI
- Using AI to support strategic HR decision-making
- Understanding the EU AI Act and its HR implications
- Building a responsible AI policy for HR departments
- Tackling the rise of Shadow AI in the workplace
Whether you’re starting your AI journey or looking to deepen your existing knowledge, this AI Ireland training session gave participants the confidence to lead AI adoption with clarity and purpose.

Introducing the 5P Framework for HR AI Strategy
Mark Kelly introduced the 5P Framework to help HR professionals lead successful AI transformations:
- People – Upskill your team and build confidence in using AI.
- Process – Digitise and streamline HR processes to prepare for AI integration.
- Product – Apply AI to improve the HR services you deliver.
- Place – Create safe environments to test, learn, and scale AI tools.
- Proprietary Data – Use internal HR data to drive smarter decision-making.
This framework helps ensure that AI isn’t just adopted – it’s implemented ethically, strategically and with lasting impact.
Compliant and Responsible AI: What HR Needs to Know
HR leaders are now responsible for understanding the regulatory landscape, including the EU AI Act, which directly affects AI tools used in hiring, monitoring and performance evaluation. At the workshop, participants learned how to begin drafting an AI policy for HR, ensuring transparency, accountability and data privacy.
Understanding the difference between approved workplace AI tools and “Shadow AI” (unauthorised apps used without IT oversight) was another key focus – especially as usage of generative AI platforms like ChatGPT continues to rise.
