Intel exec on bringing artificial intelligence into the workplace

Associated Press  

NEW YORK — Artificial intelligence is just about everywhere you look these days — including the workplace. Christy Pambianchi, chief people officer at Intel, recently spoke with The Associated Press about how the semiconductor chip maker is expanding AI education programming beyond the company’s walls — as well as best practices around implementing AI in a workforce from an HR perspective.

At Intel, we’ve published a set of principles for the responsible use of AI — and there’s been similar initiatives in the HR community across industries.
