Ep 578: The AI Hype Cycle
It does feel like 2024 could be the inflection point where we can push away the hype and start to see what impact AI is really going to have on talent acquisition. Continuing my end-of-year theme of trying to find the signal in all the noise around generative AI, I wanted to get the perspective of a TA technology innovation practitioner to help us understand more about what 2024 might bring.\n\nMy guest this week is Tom Chevalier, General Manager at Appcast Labs, a division of Appcast that focuses on innovation and creating the next generation of recruiting technology. Tom and his team are literally building part of the future, and unsurprisingly, he has some valuable insights and important advice to share.\n\nIn the interview, we discuss:\n\nWhere we are in the AI Hype Cycle\n\nThe bundling of AI into established TA technologies\n\nSeeing through the marketing spin\n\nWhere are the most interesting investments being made?\n\nWhat problems does AI solve, and what new issues does it create?\n\nTransforming the recruiting process\n\nDisruption in contingent staffing\n\nUse cases\n\nImplications for the careers of TA leaders and recruiters\n\n\nDownload a copy of Appcast\u2019s 2024 Recruiting Trends whitepaper\n\nListen to this podcast in Apple Podcasts.
