Abstract

The incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) in human talent management (HTM) has led to significant changes in business practices, especially in the automation of key processes. The objective of this research is to explore how AI impacts HTM and see the challenges companies face in implementing these technologies. The study was conducted using a quantitative approach with a descriptive design, involving a sample of 15 companies in the province of Bolívar. A structured questionnaire was applied to participants to assess the use of AI in areas such as recruitment, training, and development. The results indicated that 40% of companies already use AI in their processes, while the other 60% still face barriers such as a lack of technical knowledge and resistance to change. In conclusion, AI presents significant opportunities to improve efficiency in talent management; however, companies must invest in training and education and shift their organizational culture to adapt to these new tools.
