Our Three AI Principles

At BambooHR, we’re working tirelessly to find the most meaningful uses for new, powerful technologies like artificial intelligence (AI).

As we build AI into our HR solutions, we’ve developed three key principles to help us stay true to the core, human-centric values shared by our company and you:

  • Benefits should be clear
  • Empowerment, not replacement
  • Built on a foundation of trust

1. Benefits Should be Clear

AI should make your life easier and your work more effective. That’s why we focus on creating AI solutions that provide real, impactful benefits to you and your team.

Enhance Efficiency

AI should take automation of day-to-day tasks to the next level, so you have more time for the strategic, meaningful work that brings it all together.

Improve Decision-Making

AI has great potential to bridge the translation gap between data and actionable insights, helping you make informed decisions faster and more confidently.

Boost Productivity

Streamlining workflows with AI should help you reduce even more administrative burdens to save more time.

2. Empowerment, Not Replacement

AI should empower us, not replace us. At BambooHR, we’re committed to creating AI tools that amplify the human element in HR, helping your team shine and do their best work.

Augment Human Abilities

AI tools should support your team by boosting their abilities and freeing up their time for more creative and strategic tasks.

Foster Growth

With AI easing tedious administrative tasks, HR professionals can better focus on developing talent and nurturing a positive company culture.

Drive Engagement

Access to cutting-edge AI tools can help employees find new opportunities to focus on more engaging, meaningful work.

3. Built on a Foundation of Trust

Trust is the foundation of everything we do. We believe in earning your trust through developing and applying responsible, ethical AI that respects your data privacy.

Establish Transparency

We provide clear insights into our algorithms and processes, so you always have an understanding of how AI decisions are being made for the software you rely on.

Be Fair and Unbiased

Our AI is designed to treat everyone equally, eliminating biases and promoting fairness across all HR activities.

Ensure Security and Privacy

We use top-notch security measures to protect your data. Your privacy is paramount, and we comply with all relevant data protection laws and regulations.

What is BambooHR AI?

BambooHR AI refers to features or functionality made available by BambooHR that utilize artificial intelligence trained by machine learning using BambooHR and third-party data models. Current AI features include:

  • Ask BambooHR: Get instant answers to route HR questions anytime, and anywhere with an easy-to-use AI-powered chat interface.

AI features are not turned on by default, and you are in control of activating them for you and your employees. To do so, navigate to the Settings page of BambooHR and activate the appropriate toggle to start the setup process for that feature. You can see a list of our current AI-powered features above.
