AI is already changing HR, but not in the way the headlines often suggest. In the first episode of Series 2 of Scaling With AI , Alex Bacon speaks with Ingrid Maher Roberts, HR consultant and founder of Zero to One HR, about where artificial intelligence in business is genuinely useful for HR professionals, and where human judgement still matters most. Ingrid shares how she uses tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Claude Projects, Claude Artefacts, Gemini and NotebookLM to support HR policy work, staff handbook questions, recruitment workflows and business development. She also explains why HR teams need clear guardrails around employee data, especially when dealing with sensitive information like salaries, medical issues, disciplinaries and restructures. This episode explores practical AI use cases in HR, the risks of generic AI-generated grievances and CVs, and why context, trust and emotional intelligence remain central to good people work. It is a grounded conversation for founders, operators and HR professionals who want to understand leveraging AI in business, business growth AI, and artificial intelligence marketing for small business without getting lost in hype.
