People Analytics, AI & Creativity
Can AI Really Get Creative in #PeopleAnalytics? Here's the Lowdown
There's a buzzing debate in the tech and HR corridors: Can AI, which essentially feasts on historical data, flex its creative muscles like humans? Now, this isn't just tech gossip. It's a big deal in understanding AI's potential, especially when discussing jazzing up the mundane in HR and workforce analytics.
So, here's the kicker: When we talk about human creativity, it's not some mystical foresight into the future. Nope, it's more about being a remix master. Take Beethoven – he wasn't a psychic. He was a maestro at mixing and melding the tunes of his time into something that made ears perk up.
Apply that to AI, and suddenly, it's not just a data-crunching bot but a potential whiz at rehashing what it knows into something you didn't see coming.

AI's Leap into Creative Genius
The road ahead for AI in the artsy-fartsy world is promising but filled with potholes. It's like teaching a robot to dance – tricky, but not impossible. As AI gets smarter and maybe even a bit more emotionally savvy, we could see it turning from a data regurgitator to a genuine creator. Think of AI as a budding artist in People Analytics and HR strategy studio, offering a fresh perspective to old problems.
Bottom Line
While AI is still being prepared to take over the art gallery or compose the next symphony, its journey in the creative lane is just starting.
And as for its role in HR and workforce analytics, there's much-untapped potential waiting to be explored.
So, let's wait to write AI off as a mere number-cruncher. With a bit of tweaking and training, who knows? AI might just surprise us all with its creative chops.
Musical genius is a good context for the discussion of creativity because it demonstrates so amply that creativity is not an attribute of people, or minds, or LLMs, but of a society in time. I think your account of Beethoven is entirely wishful. He was an able musical technician indeed, and could craft a fugue with the best of them. But he was also passionately political, sexually and romantically frustrated, and going deaf. He pushed boundaries and raised expectations. And he had to earn a living -something that is often forgotten about great composers. Creativity is recognised (and sometimes lost and regained) in outcomes, not the orocess of production. Take Bach, for long periods dismissed as a fusty old mathematician. Yet his promotion of equal-temperament tuning of keyboard instruments unlocked modulation to remote keys and chromaticism, and laid groundwork that 19th century composers exploited. Wrote some quite good stuff too. For all the genuinely admiral advances in AI, it is in dager of modelling the human as just a cerebral cortex on legs. Real-world objects, of the sort one might eat, bark one's shins against or attempt to seduce, are no more than nodes with complex connections to a LLM. Beethoven had to eat.
We believe that you start from what the data is telling you. Currently, AI is providing many tools to aid human creativity – removing writing blocks, automating grunt work, and providing a ‘starter for 10’, so the current concerns about the end of human work are somewhat overstated. As we learn to use these tools and further push the boundaries, we are sure we will find new opportunities.
