Explanation / Answer

Question:- the uses of the GROW tool illustrate some of the ways in which humans can be augmented by and work in collaboration with AI

Answer:- True

Reason:- GROW provides a platform which can be utilized by the companies to combine both the AI and the human intelligence to perform a certain activity.

Question:- your company wants to launch and oversee the GROW tool as a part of the organization’s recruitment process. What would be part of your plan?

Answer:- The correct options are:-

Identifying the parts of the process where the AI tool is just as reliable as human judgment       to enable cost saving

Getting hiring manager comfortable with the structure and quality of data

Ensuring process does not create a workforce without diversity

Reason:- For having the effective implementation of AI, it should be as reliable as human intelligence and by replacing human with AI, the cost saving can be accomplished. It is also equally important that managers are comfortable with the structure and the data quality so that they can use the model with confidence and ease. The recruitment process must ensure the diversity of the manpower so that the company can enjoy the same level of diverse manpower.
