1. It is important to control the digital addiction
Legendary Arianna Huffington, the founder of The Huffington Post, was the keynote speaker at HR Tech World 2017. She shared her vision on the future of work and on the impact of HR technologies on society further on.

The increase in automation and AI, what some are calling the Fourth Industrial Revolution, is obviously going to bring profound changes. In the workplace, it's going to create a premium on essential human qualities like creativity, intuition, and wisdom. The paradox is that these are the exact qualities that are impaired by our addiction to technology. So our ability to build our resilience for the technology-dominated workplace of the future depends, in no small measure, on our ability to – right now — recalibrate and take control of our lives and our relationship with technology.
2. It is essential to turn the information into value
Peter Hinssen, the Co-Founder of Nexxworks and one of the world's opinion leaders on subversive innovations told us about the importance of working with the big data: companies have terabytes of information not only about their clients, but about employees and applicants as well. Peter advices HRs to follow the example of their marketing colleagues and to value the information, to use it more effectively while searching for talents and motivating employees.

It is essential to turn the information into value. To use it for talents searching. Focus on individuality. Proactivity. Communicate to achieve goals.
3. «Digital HR architecture» determines the need to be more flexible, to learn constantly
Bersin by Deloitte principal Josh Bersin shared his vision on transforming of the HR market. Over the past three years, a complete reinvention has transformed the entire marketplace for HR software, platforms, and tools. While cloud-based systems have been replacing legacy software, a new industry of tools for team management, agile performance management, digital learning, cognitive recruiting, and productivity improvement has quickly expanded. These new systems, built in a new "digital HR architecture," are redefining how HR and IT teams should think about technology. It is important to remember about improving the methods of management and staff development – they need to be more flexible. Corporate culture, employees' involvement and the certain set of values are the priority aspects, which are worth paying attention to and constantly working on them.

Artificial Intelligence: "advanced analytics " where the quantity and quality of the data are the key parts of it.
4. Artificial Intelligence VS Human: while implementing AI, it is important not to lose an adjusted set of human values
Nick Bostrom, Oxford philosopher, the Founding Director Future of Humanity Institute, says that "sentient machines are a greater threat to humanity than climate change". He is remembered by his hypothesis of the Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence impact on company employees and the importance of preserving the human values while using modern technologies.

There are a lot of things that machines can't understand currently because they are not that smart, but once they become so, I don't think there would be any special difficulty in understanding human suffering and death.
