Abstract
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into Human Resource Management (HRM) is reshaping traditional practices and driving strategic transformation in modern organisations. This conceptual review adopts a qualitative content approach, synthesizing empirical and theoretical literature on AI and HRM to identify emerging patterns, frameworks, and implications for practice. This paper explores AI applications in recruitment, performance management, employee engagement, training, and workforce planning. It highlights the benefits of AI adoption as well as raises ethical and operational concerns, including data privacy, bias, and accountability, while also illustrating its future potential in predictive workforce analytics, ethical governance, and adaptive learning systems that redefine employee experience. Drawing from recent literature and real-world insights, the study emphasizes the need for organisations to implement AI ethically and responsibly, ensuring its deployment is guided by fairness and transparency. It concludes by advocating for robust data governance frameworks and continuous learning to ensure AI serves as a tool for inclusive and sustainable HRM practices in the digital age.
