About the authors

Ben Eubanks is an HR industry analyst and influencer. He is the Principal Analyst at Lighthouse Research & Advisory where he oversees the development of research, assets and insights to support HR, learning and talent executives. Based in Huntsville, Alabama, he is also the founder of HR community upstartHR, the co-founder of the HRevolution movement and host of the We're Human podcast.

I found Ben's book to be a very useful distillation of a complex and increasingly important area of HR capability and investment. My students, future HR leaders, gained tremendous insight into AI for HR and the facilitating role it will soon play in the best organizations for people. Artificial Intelligence for HR demystifies a complex topic and contextualizes what some regard as just the latest HR fad. It is a well-organized and well-written book worth reading by HR leaders, educators and students. Despite the title, it's really all about people!
