Vice President of Sales at Bloovo Middle East, said: “Many institutions around the world are now relying heavily on A{ techniques in training employees, develop their abilities and empower them, which will enhance work environment attractiveness in those institutions, and make it a destination for top talents.

“Regarding the main challenges facing organizations in adopting AI technologies, he explained that they include involving employees and integrating them in the work environment, lack of experts and specialists in the field of AI, resistance    to change and fear of a shift to smart technology, and the fact that AI lacks  emotional intelligence.

"Many organizations are currently using some smart HR applications that allow for the analysis of employees' personality and attitudes, prior to proposing  solutions to improve the work environment and employee performance. There are also highly sophisticated human resources systems to identify the need for special skills in the labor market, based on job descriptions and available  vacancies."

AI systems, according to Abu Qasha, are becoming widely used in the institutions in conducting analysis and evaluation of employee performance, and studying the quality of the skills needed by the institution in the coming years, based on certain indicators and data to be entered in these systems, to give accurate results, and provide a set of conclusions and recommendations.
