As companies continue to embrace the idea of digital transformation, integrating Artificial Intelligence into external workforce management offers them numerous chances to improve productivity and streamline processes. Thanks to modern technological advancements, particularly AI, tasks can now be completed more effectively and intelligently than ever before.

Through AI, companies can boost their organizations’ productivity and advance their talent strategies as it relates to the external workforce. This is business critical, as external workers provide a breadth of skills and contributions to a company’s total workforce. Let's take a closer look at some of these significant developments that artificial intelligence is revolutionizing and how they can work together to help both businesses and external workers  reach their full potential:

This has pushed organizations to digitize and optimize HR processes for both internal and external workers.
