A top executive at Accenture has warned that businesses will be forced to rethink their leadership models as they adopt more artificial intelligence. Matt Prebble, who leads Accenture's human capital practice in the UK and Ireland, says that HR departments must adapt to manage both human and artificial intelligence (AI) employees.
The need for HR to manage AI bots is becoming increasingly important, Prebble said. As more businesses adopt AI technology, they will need to rethink their leadership models to ensure that both human and AI employees are working effectively together.
Prebble believes that AI will continue to transform the way businesses operate and that HR departments must be at the forefront of this change. 'The world is changing at an incredible pace and organisations are facing unprecedented challenges,' he said. 'To succeed, they need to rethink their leadership models and create a culture that is equipped to manage the changing nature of work.'
Accenture's executive has highlighted the importance of HR in driving this cultural change. 'HR has a critical role to play in shaping the future of work,' Prebble said. 'By being at the centre of the conversation around AI and its impact on the workforce, HR can help organisations to stay ahead of the curve.'
