By now, you’ve seen how AI in HR can quietly derail fairness, often not through malice, but through speed, simplicity, or a clever-looking tool. But knowing what not to do isn’t enough when real decisions move fast.

This lesson introduces the ART Framework—a fast, flexible way to gut-check AI-supported decisions before they scale. ART stands for Accountability, Responsibility, and Transparency: three sharp questions you can ask on the fly when evaluating tools, setting up automations, or adjusting existing workflows.

Designed for real-world HR pressure, ART helps you slow down just enough to make choices that are human-centered, defensible, and worthy of trust—without grinding your work to a halt.

Learning objectives

By the end of this lesson, you’ll be able to:

• Explain what the ART Framework is and when to use it in AI-supported HR decisions
• Apply Accountability to ensure outputs can be explained and defended
• Use Responsibility to clarify who is affected — and who owns the outcome
• Apply Transparency so people understand when AI is involved and how it impacts them
• Use ART as a fast, repeatable gut-check before AI decisions scale across your org
