The CIPD has introduced a new ‘Focus on’ resource page to help people professionals understand the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) in the workplace. The expertly curated research and guides will help people professionals build   
the evidence, insights and confidence they need to take a considered and responsible approach to adopting AI in their organisation.  

Throughout January and February, we're showcasing new and collated content to help you understand AI’s growing impact on the world of work, and what people professionals, employers and policy-makers need to do to manage the risks and make the most of the opportunities it presents.  

The new resource page features expert insights, practical tools and guidance to help you make evidence-based decisions around how to engage with this rapidly advancing technology in your organisation.  

Our ‘Focus on AI’ page features: 

  • Practical guides on preparing your business for AI and how to choose the right technology 
  • Research on AI's impact on different job roles, employee performance and leadership 
  • Podcasts and webinars on what AI means for the people profession.. 
  • Tools for developing AI policies and frameworks 
  • CIPD learning course - AI for Human Resources 

To kick off the campaign, our AI in Focus briefing highlights the vital role of people professionals in leading the adoption of AI within their organisations. It also emphasises the importance of understanding and navigating the rapidly evolving AI landscape.

"AI and other technologies are transforming jobs, and people professionals play a vital role in ensuring no one gets left behind. People professionals can leverage these technologies to enhance people management practices in ways that benefit organisations and their people."

Hayfa Mohdzaini, Senior Policy and Practice Adviser – Technology, CIPD

The new resource page is part of our ‘Focus on…’ series, which brings together the CIPD’s guidance, reports and advice on key issues impacting the people profession and how you support your people. Topics covered include workplace conflict, the UK Government’s Make Work Pay Plan and workplace skills and productivity.
