AI-Driven Human Resource Management in India: Balancing Innovation with Ethical and Cultural Considerations

Abstract

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Human Resource Management (HRM) has revolutionized organizational practices globally, with India emerging as a significant player in this transformation. This research examines the current state of AI adoption in Indian HRM, analyzing the balance between technological innovation and the preservation of ethical standards and cultural values. Through a comprehensive review of literature, case studies, and empirical analysis, this study identifies key opportunities, challenges, and recommendations for sustainable AI implementation in Indian organizations. The findings reveal that while AI offers substantial benefits in recruitment, performance management, and employee engagement, organizations must navigate complex ethical dilemmas and cultural sensitivities unique to the Indian context. This research contributes to the growing body of knowledge on AI in HRM and provides practical insights for HR professionals, policymakers, and technology vendors operating in the Indian market.
