It  has catalyzed significant transformations, and the realm of Human Resource (HR) functions is no exception.The paper explores how AI-driven technologies are reshaping recruitment, employee engagement, performance evaluation, and talent management processes. While AI has demonstrated remarkable potential, this study also critically assesses the drawbacks associated with its integration in HR functions.
