China to use AI in human resources service

HANGZHOU — Artificial intelligence is beginning to be used in China's human resources services.

At the ongoing China Human Resource Service Expo 2017 in Hangzhou, capital of Zhejiang province, AI is featured in many human resource service products on display. The products have strong cognition abilities and data analysis skills. The technology could also help decide which post is the most suitable for a person.

Human resources is very important but time-consuming, said Zhou Xiao, an HR manager with an internet company in Hangzhou. "The artificial intelligence could save us time and help us do a better job," said Zhou.

By the end of 2016, nearly 70 percent of China's 26,700 human resources service institutions had completed their "intelligent transformation," according to China institute of personnel science.
