The effects of artificial intelligence on human resources management in the context of industry 4.0

Today, it is stated by experts that Industry 4.0 and artificial intelligence, the new concepts of the industrial age, have created fundamental improvements in existing systems and working practices. This study aims to evaluate how the developments realized by Industry 4.0 and how digitalization and artificial intelligence in the light of these developments affect human resources management. The possibilities provided by technological development to production have led to a gradual decrease in the need for manpower in production and may enable the emergence of new and different business sectors. Industry 4.0 and artificial intelligence are part of the digital transformation in the business world. And they have significant implications for human resources management. This new industrial age involves the use of automation, artificial intelligence and other technologies. Human resource management plays an important role in adapting to these changes and developing employees' skills. In order to make optimum use of the opportunities provided by Industry 4.0 and artificial intelligence applications, it will be possible to determine the possible problems and possible solution options with new technological systems and to create global strategies in order to take the necessary measures. In this study, the changes that the innovations brought by the new industrial revolution in the digitalization process will create on human resources management and human resources functions will be examined. In this context, a comparison will be made with the new concepts that a thorough literature review will reveal. Among the new concepts, Industry 4.0, artificial intelligence and the term Human resource management 4.0 (HRM 4.0), which is the future of human resource management, are defined and explained in detail. As a result, this study examines and explains in detail the development and changes made by the new technology developed by the fourth industrial revolution and integrated into the system in terms of human resources management.
