EXPERT OPINION
Why HR Doesn’t Need “AI Fluency.” It Needs Courage and Clarity
AI fluency in HR is often overemphasized. Instead of seeking mastery over AI technologies, HR should focus on literacy—understanding how AI works, identifying biases, and questioning vendor motives.
Most technology promises quick solutions but often lacks depth, leading to decisions like layoffs masked as AI-driven progress. HR should strip away buzzwords and address real challenges, prioritizing employee support and improvement.
