  • [ENG] Frankenstein, Prometheus and AI: when HR plays with fire
    Nov 18 2025

    The text originally published on The HR Singularity explores the rapid and risky adoption of artificial intelligence in human resources management, using the myths of Frankenstein and Prometheus as moral warnings.

    It highlights that the urgency to integrate AI, often for efficiency gains, can lead to ignoring ethical and legal consequences, particularly in terms of discrimination. European legislation, such as the AI Act, classifies many uses of HR AI as “high risk,” imposing strict obligations for transparency, bias auditing, and human intervention.

    In addition, the document highlights a second problem: the disparate stacking of HR tools which, like Frankenstein's monster, creates an inefficient, insecure, and difficult-to-control technological architecture.

    In conclusion, the article calls on HR professionals to act with caution, governance, and interoperability to avoid sanctions and ensure responsible transformation.

  • Frankenstein, Prométhée et l’IA : quand les RH jouent avec le feu
    Nov 18 2025

    Le texte original publié sur The HR Singularity explore l'adoption risquée de l'intelligence artificielle dans la gestion des ressources humaines, utilisant les mythes de Frankenstein et de Prométhée comme mises en garde morales.

    Il souligne que l'urgence d'intégrer l'IA, souvent pour des gains d'efficacité, peut conduire à ignorer les conséquences éthiques et légales, notamment en matière de discrimination. La législation européenne, telle que l'AI Act, classe de nombreux usages de l'IA RH comme « à haut risque », imposant des obligations strictes de transparence, d'audit des biais, et d’intervention humaine.

    De plus, le document met en lumière un second problème : l'empilement disparate d'outils RH qui, tel le monstre de Frankenstein, crée une architecture technologique inefficace, non sécurisée et difficile à contrôler.

    En conclusion, l'article appelle les professionnels des RH à agir avec prudence, gouvernance et interopérabilité pour éviter les sanctions et assurer une transformation responsable.

  • [ENG] Which Sci-Fi HR Director would you be?
    Nov 10 2025

    This article from The HR Singularity presents the archetypes of the Human Resources function (HR Director) through the lens of nine famous science fiction characters.

    The text explores different HRD styles, each associated with a specific character and area of expertise, such as Safety and Duty of Care for Ripley or Resilience and Crisis Management for Sarah Connor.

    For each archetype, the article details the profile, guiding principles, key actions to take in the first 90 days, points to watch out for, and rituals associated with the role.

    Auditors are encouraged to participate in an online questionnaire beforehand to identify which archetype best matches their own HR style.
