Ethical Issues in AI Use in HR Management: Russian Experience

The development of artificial intelligence, both in general and in the field of HR, is among the priorities. The introduction of technological solutions in a short time can ensure the growth of the global economy. Companies that use AI take a leading position and create barriers for others. Artificial intelligence can dramatically change the approach to recruitment. The goal of improving business efficiency is directly related to the effectiveness of human resources management. HR management uses AI systems to optimize business processes. But when using AI systems, there are ethical problems that are extremely significant for society. The purpose of this study is to study how Russian HR managers understand the ethical problems that arise when using AI systems in HR business processes and what measures are taken to solve these problems. The results can be useful for companies, employees, and future candidates. Taking into account the methodology, the authors will conduct 15 in-depth interviews with HR experts. Interviews are necessary to find out what AI systems Russian companies use in HR management, what ethical problems HR managers face when using AI tools, and what measures they take to solve these problems. At the end, the authors give recommendations for solving the ethical problems identified from the analysis of the interviews.
