How AI Will Really Impact Talent Management (Beyond the Hype)


Listen Later

Is AI going to replace your entire workforce or transform how we perform talent management. To some degree? The answer is more nuanced than the extreme hype would suggest.

Dr. Reece Akhtar, organizational psychologist and CEO of Deeper Signals, cut through the hype to talk about what's actually happening in talent management. As someone who teaches at NYU and writes for Forbes and Harvard Business Review, Reece brings both academic rigor and practical experience.

In this episode, we talked how AI will impact virtually every stage of the employee journey - from recruitment to development to succession planning. But instead of the usual "AI will change everything" narrative we typically hear , Reece explained why he thinks it will be somewere in between and why soft skills are so important.

What we cover:

  • Why AI adoption will follow two parallel paths one of which is replacing as many people as possible with AI
  • The three lasting skills that will always matter in any workplace
  • How to evaluate AI tools
  • Why you should plan for AI
  • Real examples of AI making talent insights more accessible for someone without a phD


Key takeaway: The future isn't about humans vs. machines - it's about humans WITH machines doing better work together.
