Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming Human Resource Management (HRM) by streamlining recruitment, onboarding, performance management, and employee engagement. Its integration has introduced innovative practices such as predictive analytics, chatbots, and adaptive performance systems, enabling organizations to achieve greater efficiency and agility. However, alongside these advancements emerge pressing ethical concerns—bias in algorithmic decision-making, data privacy risks, and the opacity of AI-driven outcomes. These tensions highlight the critical need for responsible governance to ensure fairness, transparency, and trust in AI-enabled HR systems. This paper develops a conceptual framework linking AI adoption in HRM with innovation, ethics, and organizational sustainability. The framework positions AI adoption as the driver of innovation, innovation as the mediator of organizational sustainability, and ethics as a moderator shaping the responsible application of AI. By synthesizing literature across management, computer science, and organizational ethics, the study demonstrates how AI can foster sustainable HR practices when supported by ethical safeguards and leadership accountability. Findings suggest that organizations embedding fairness audits, explainable AI systems, and employee-centric policies report higher employee trust, engagement, and long-term resilience. The paper contributes theoretically by advancing discourse on responsible AI adoption and practically by offering guidelines for HR leaders and policymakers. It emphasizes that technological progress in HRM cannot be divorced from ethical responsibility, as sustainable outcomes rely on balancing innovation with fairness and accountability. Ultimately, the study underscores that responsible AI adoption not only enhances HR efficiency but also strengthens organizational legitimacy and resilience in the era of Industry 4.0.
