A Study on the Future is Unlikely to See "HR Robots" Replacing Human HR Professionals

Abstract

This research paper explores the potential impact of automation and artificial intelligence on the field of Human Resources (HR). While the adoption of technology in HR processes is on the rise, the complete replacement of human HR professionals by "HR robots" seems unlikely in the foreseeable future. The study examines the current state of HR technology, its limitations, and the essential human elements in HR roles that cannot be easily replicated by automation. The research concludes that while automation can augment HR tasks, the unique qualities of empathy, complex decision-making and interpersonal skills required in HR make it improbable for robots to completely replace human HR professionals in the coming years. This research paper delves into the evolving landscape of Human Resources (HR) in the context of increasing automation and artificial intelligence. It investigates the potential of "HR robots" to replace human HR professionals in the realm of research and publication work within the HR domain. The study assesses the current state of HR technology, identifies its inherent limitations, and evaluates the complex, multifaceted nature of research work in HR. Through a comprehensive analysis, it is demonstrated that while automation can enhance certain HR functions, the intricate research tasks requiring critical thinking, nuanced understanding of human behavior, and adaptability make it improbable for "HR robots" to wholly replace human HR professionals in research work for publication. This research contributes to the ongoing discussion on the role of automation in HR and the continued importance of human expertise in the field.
