In this thought-provoking episode of Break the Wheel, host David Murray is joined by Craig Foreman, the founder of CultureC Consulting and former lead people scientist at CultureAmp. The conversation kicks off with a deep dive into the ethical use of artificial intelligence in hiring processes, spurred by New York City's upcoming law that regulates AI tools in this domain.
Craig shares his nuanced perspective on the balance between technological advancement and ethical considerations, highlighting the complexities businesses face in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
They also discussed about the impact of AI on productivity and the workforce. Craig brings up the phenomenon of individuals holding multiple jobs without their employers' knowledge, thanks to AI's efficiency boosts. This leads to a broader conversation about the future of work and the importance of understanding where to focus energy in a changing job market.
Additionally, the episode touches on the trend of 'quiet cutting,' where companies reassign employees to less desirable roles instead of laying them off, and the implications this has on workplace culture and employee engagement.
This episode is a must-listen for leaders, HR professionals, and anyone interested in the intersection of technology, culture, and the future of work.
