The global employment space has undergone a dramatic transformation over the last five years. Most Employers of Record (EORs), who provide global payroll and hiring solutions, are seen as being in one of two camps. Some EORs are either high-touch service, low-tech providers while the others are low-touch service, high-tech platforms.
At Borderless AI, we’ve bridged the gap by making customer service the cornerstone of our tech-driven EOR platform. As we continued to innovate and think about the best ways to add value to our customers, we explored how organizations around the world have been increasingly integrating the usage of AI tools into their day-to-day activities. Research by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) states that nearly one in four organizations had reported using artificial intelligence to assist with human resource (HR) related tasks, including hiring.
We thought deeply about how this new trend impacts global companies, and what it means for the future of hiring across borders. This resulted in the creation of Alberni: The world’s first generative and conversational AI agent for global HR.
What is Generative AI?
Generative AI refers to a class of artificial intelligence systems that can generate content, such as text, images, audio, and more, in response to prompts based on information gathered from existing data.
These systems are best known for using machine learning techniques, specifically generative models, to create content that is often indistinguishable from what a human might produce.
Generative AI has been applied to various domains, including but not limited to:
Text Generation: Creating human-like text, such as natural language generation, creative writing, or even code generation.
Image Generation: Generating realistic images and artwork.
Data Synthesis: Creating synthetic data for training machine learning models.
These functions of Generative AI have found various applications in the workplace and have contributed to increased efficiency, accuracy, and automation.
How Generative AI Is Used in HR?
AI has been proven to enhance the efficiency of many workplace-related tasks and is particularly useful for managing human resource-related tasks, including hiring, compliance, payroll, and administration.
A study to understand the needs of 250 HR managers showed that:
- 78% of them had implemented AI to some extent to assist with employee record-keeping
- 77% used AI to assist with payroll processing and benefits administration
- 73% leveraged AI for recruitment and hiring
- 64-72% had AI help with processes like performance management, onboarding, employee retention, and talent mobility management.
It’s predicted that in 2024, AI will continue to be integrated into HR at a faster pace than in previous years.
At Borderless AI, we were especially interested in how generative and conversational AI could be implemented in additional HR contexts:
Automated Content Generation
Reports and Summaries: Generative AI can assist in automatically summarizing lengthy reports, extracting key insights, and generating concise summaries.
Contract Generation: Using generative models to suggest or draft employment contracts, helping users compose legally compliant agreements more quickly and effectively.
Chatbots and Virtual Assistants: Generative AI models are often used to power chatbots and virtual assistants and are used as an enhanced customer support feature or sometimes in place of customer service associates.
Knowledge Base Maintenance: AI systems can be used to generate and update articles, FAQs, and more based on user queries and feedback.
Data Analysis and Reporting
Data Synthesis: Generative AI can create synthetic datasets for testing and training purposes, which can be useful when dealing with sensitive or limited data.
Automated Data Insights: AI tools can analyze large datasets, generate insights, and present key findings to help businesses make data-driven decisions.
These are just a few examples of how AI has proved to be useful in the workplace. However, as generative AI technology continues to improve, its relevance in professional settings grows as it demonstrates its capability when implemented in other industries.
Applying this concept to the world of global HR, Borderless AI devised Alberni: the first AI agent for global HR. Alberni is built to transform the way HR managers hire, onboard, and pay new global talent.

Are There Risks of Using AI for HR Tasks?
When it comes to generative AI, you should have a solid understanding of how the technology operates before you engage with it and maintain reasonable expectations regarding the information you receive.
It is crucial to acknowledge that the effectiveness of generative AI depends on the quality of the data it receives, so if the data contains errors or inconsistencies, the results may mirror those. It’s good business practice to cross-check the information you receive with a trusted source.
