The survey examined how AI is affecting employees and found an"uptick" in the use of the technology at small companies.
Anaya told CTVNews.ca the survey is meant to understand both HR software that employs AI and AI-based HR software. AI is helping talent managers find and shortlist candidates, write performance reviews, evaluate retention of employees and give recommendations on further learning, the study says.The tools can suggest to HR tips for improving retention and distributing raises, Anaya says.
Just under half of respondents who were uncomfortable with the use of AI in layoff decisions said humans should be involved in letting someone go. Respondents also said AI could avoid decisions based on a manager's personal issues with employees , it relies on performance-based data and 28 per cent believe decisions by AI are more accurate.A majority of employees surveyed worry about how AI layoffs could impact their mental health.
Over a third of employees said if AI was in charge of layoffs they would change their behaviour on the job.
