Deep dives
Integration of AI in HR Technology
Recent advancements in AI technology, particularly by companies like Microsoft and SAP, are significantly impacting HR tech architectures. New tools such as Microsoft Co-Pilot and SAP's JUUL are designed to create sophisticated chatbot interfaces that streamline access to HR data. These platforms leverage large language models and vector databases to enhance user interaction and efficiency. For instance, JUUL allows users to perform various HR transactions—like creating job postings or accessing expense accounts—via conversational commands, showcasing the potential for AI to transform traditional HR processes.
JUUL and SAP's Strategic Vision
SAP's JUUL represents a comprehensive effort to integrate AI into HR functionalities across the employee lifecycle, from hiring to retirement. By mapping hundreds of transactions into this chatbot interface, SAP aims to simplify user interactions within its ecosystem. The system's flexibility allows it to utilize multiple large language models, optimizing responses based on user queries. This positioning gives SAP an advantage as they continue to enhance JUUL's capabilities, such as job creation and data retrieval, facilitating a user-friendly experience for HR professionals.
Disruption in Learning and Development (L&D)
The potential disruption of AI in Learning and Development (L&D) is significant, leading to changes in content generation, legacy integration, and consumption of learning materials. AI technologies allow for rapid content creation, moving away from traditional, lengthy instructional design processes, which could result in more dynamic and personalized learning experiences. There is an anticipated shift in focusing on content architecture, ensuring that relevant training and information are easily accessible when needed. As companies redefine the roles within L&D, Chief Learning Officers may find their responsibilities shifting toward mastering the intersection of content delivery and employee skill development.
In this episode I explain what’s happening in the Chatbot or “Intelligent Agent” market as vendors produce Copilots and we start to figure out how they’ll work together. I discuss our own plans for Galileo and explain how SAP Joule is partnering with Microsoft to integrate these agents. It’s early days and vendors like ServiceNow, Workday, and others are actively working here.
Then I give you some insights on our massive new research program in corporate L&D. Yes, AI is the big disruptor hitting corporate training and I explain why this is far bigger than the e-learning era we experienced 24 years ago.
