Artificial　intelligence　(AI)　is　rapidly　transforming　the　way　human　resources　(HR)　functions　are　carried　out　in　the　health　sector　of　China.　This　study　aims　to　scrutinize　the　impact　of　artificial　intelligence　on　the　human　resource　functions　operating　in　the　healthcare　sector　through　technological　awareness,　social　media　influence,　and　personal　innovativeness.　Additionally,　this　study　examines　the　moderating　role　of　perceived　risk　between　technological　awareness　and　human　resources　functions.　An　online　questionnaire　was　administered　to　human　resources　professionals　in　the　health　sector　of　China　to　gather　data　from　363　respondents.　Partial　least　squares　structural　equation　modeling　(PLS-SEM),　a　statistical　procedure,　is　implemented　to　investigate　the　hypothesis　of　the　projected　model　of　artificial　intelligence　and　human　resource　functions.　The　research　findings　reveal　that　artificial　intelligence　significantly　influences　human　resource　functions　through　technological　awareness,　social　media　influence,　and　personal　innovativeness.　Furthermore,　perceived　risk　significantly　moderates　the　relationship　between　technological　awareness　and　human　resource　functions.　The　findings　of　this　study　have　important　implications　for　HR　practitioners　and　policymakers　in　the　health　sectors　of　China,　who　can　leverage　artificial　intelligence　technologies　to　optimize　and　improve　organizational　performance.　However,　its　adoption　needs　to　be　carefully　planned　and　managed　to　reap　the　full　benefits　of　this　transformative　technology.　©　2023　The　Authors
