AI refers to software and machine-based intelligence capable of analysing information, recognizing patterns, predicting outcomes, and making logical decisions that are previously depended on human thinking. This study analyses how AI impacts HR functions namely recruitment, training, performance management, compensation, employee experience, and workforce forecasting. The study shows that AI improves accuracy, reduces manual workload, increases uniformity in decisions, and strengthens long-term HR planning. Besides this , the study highlights few challenges like algorithmic bias and data dependency, lack of emotional understanding human sensitivity, data privacy, security & legal risks. The findings suggest that AI cannot fully replace human intelligence; instead, AI can be used as a supporting tool to make the analytical tasks while emotional, ethical, and situational decisions are handled by HR professionals. This balance creates a more reliable, practical, and sustainable HR framework for modern organizations.
