AI in Competency Management: What to Automate, What to Govern, What to Avoid (Video)
AI is transforming how organisations build competency models, analyse performance conversations, and match people to development opportunities. But not every task should be automated — and some require strong governance and human oversight.
This short video explains:
• The benefits and risks of AI in competency management
• Low-risk tasks AI can safely accelerate
• Medium-risk tasks that require human supervision
• High-risk tasks AI must never perform
• How to identify unsafe, black-box AI systems
• A practical governance model for safe AI adoption
Safe and Effective Use of AI in Competency Management
AI provides significant value when applied responsibly.
Safe areas include:
- Model generation – AI drafts role profiles and competency models
- Development suggestions – linked to known gaps or goals
- Evidence summaries – extracting themes from journals or feedback
- Pattern insights – highlighting trends for human review
Areas that must remain human-led include performance ratings, promotion decisions, hiring decisions, and automated “readiness” scoring.
The most effective approach is Human + AI:
AI suggests; humans review, validate, and decide.
