Abstract In the evolving landscape of modern businesses, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force, particularly in the realm of Human Resource Management (HRM). From automating mundane tasks to generating predictive insights, AI is reshaping how HR professionals operate. This research paper delves deep into the integration of AI in HR practices across India, with a focus on real-world applications, challenges, and ethical considerations. Using a comprehensive mixed-method research approach, the study engages HR professionals from various sectors, capturing a broad spectrum of perspectives. The findings indicate not only a positive reception of AI's capabilities but also underline the necessity for cautious and strategic implementation. The paper concludes that while AI can significantly enhance efficiency and data analysis, human empathy, judgment, and ethical vigilance remain irreplaceable.
