Katherine Jones - The Hidden Costs of AI in HR

Market Analyst Dr. Katherine Marie Jones joins us this episode to discuss the pervasive nature of artificial intelligence in the modern world of business. We explore how AI is more than just office automation—it's a force reshaping industries, creating new jobs while making others obsolete, and presenting HR with the critical challenge of upskilling or reskilling the workforce. Katherine also sheds light on the often-overlooked environmental and economic costs of AI, from massive power consumption to its inflationary potential.
