Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to investigate the key characteristics of artificial intelligence (AI) in organizational settings, analyze its capacity to reduce customer service jobs in favor of more advanced roles and analyze its efficacy in candidate screening by emphasizing performance.
Design/methodology/approach
A comprehensive analysis of 40 papers is performed using the PRISMA method based on data from Web of Science, Scopus, Emerald and Google Scholar.
