Abstract

The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Human Resources (HR) processes is changing recruitment, employee management, and decision-making. AI-driven HR tools help streamline hiring, improve workforce analytics, and increase efficiency. However, there are ethical issues with AI in HR, raising concerns about bias, fairness, transparency, and data privacy. If not managed well, AI systems can support discrimination, invade employee privacy, and lessen accountability in workplace decision-making. This research looks at how AI affects ethics in HR, focusing on key issues like algorithmic bias, fairness in hiring, transparency in employee evaluations, and ethical decision-making in AI-based HR policies. The study compares traditional HR methods with AI-powered decision-making, highlights industry case studies, and offers recommendations for fair and transparent AI use in HR.
