Key learning outcomes

Understand key AI terms in plain English and what each one means for HR work.

Identify which AI tools fit common HR tasks, recognising that organisational governance, security settings and licence tier shape what can actually be used in practice.

Use prompts for everyday HR tasks including drafting, summarising, policy support, stakeholder communications and learning design.

Apply an AHRI governance lens: when AI can be used, when it should not be, and when human judgement is required, including whether the underlying data is ready.

Practise platform-agnostic prompting that transfers across Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude and similar assistants.

Point AI at the right documents and references, so answers are grounded in the organisation’s own material rather than the model’s assumptions.

Check AI work: what to verify, what never to take on trust, and how to recognise a confidently wrong answer.

Take-home materials and practical resources

HR prompt sheet: proven prompts by specialty, covering OD, ER/IR, recruitment, talent management and L&D. 

Governance quick-check: a one-page set of questions to run before putting any HR information into an AI tool.

Check-the-work checklist: how to verify AI output before it reaches an employee, a manager or a document of record.
