Starting your A.I. roadmap in Human Resources benefits the company, employees, customers, and prospects.

While it is scary for some to see automation, machine learning, and robotics take over processes in business, the data is showing that new roles will replace what we lose with “more interesting” work and unknown wins and challenges we get the opportunity to solve. Human empathy and social engagement cannot be mimicked, and we are a necessity in the future of work. In the summer of 2020, we set out to solve some of the business challenges brought to the forefront during a pandemic, climate change, and civil discourse. Our goal was to create a sustainable product that our community could use, and would also be a working project for educating our larger community.
