About the Project

In today’s digital era, HR professionals are no longer just administrators—they are strategic business partners driving innovation and organizational success. This Community-Based Learning (CBL) Project engages undergraduate HRM students in exploring how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming human resource management and shaping the future of work.

This symposium represents the culmination of a semester-long project. Through research, interviews with HR professionals, and applied analysis, students examine how AI is reshaping core HR practices, from recruitment and selection to training, performance management, and compensation, and develop strategic recommendations for organizations seeking to stay competitive in the digital age.

Artificial intelligence is already shaping the way we work, learn, and live — from helping doctors make life-saving decisions to suggesting the music we listen to. Our learners are growing up in a world powered by AI, but many use it without understanding how it works or how to use it responsibly.
 

That’s why our school is participating in the Hour of AI, a free global initiative. Building on the worldwide success of the Hour of Code, this hands-on experience gives students the opportunity to:
● Learn what AI is – and what it isn’t
● Explore how AI works – through hands-on, interactive projects
● Create with AI – designing art, training simple AI models, and solving real-world challenges
● Discuss responsible use – understanding ethics, safety, and how AI impacts society
 

WHY IT MATTERS
● Empowers students to be creators, not just consumers
● Builds critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills
● Prepares them for a future where AI will be part of every industry
 

HOW CAN YOU SUPPORT IT AT HOME
● Ask your child what they learned and created during the Hour of AI.
● Encourage conversations about how AI affects daily life.
● Explore free AI learning resources together at HourofAI.org.
 

By taking part in the Hour of AI, students aren’t just learning about technology; they’re learning how to navigate and shape the future driven by AI.
