HR Departments Can Use AI to Fortify Organizations
HR professionals are at a critical juncture where they must quickly build AI literacy or risk becoming organizational bottlenecks.

A major disconnect exists between what corporate leaders want and what HR teams can deliver when it comes to artificial intelligence. A 2024 McKinsey flash survey of more than 100 organizations with more than $50 million in annual revenue found that 63% of respondents are making AI a top priority (“Implementing Generative AI with Speed and Safety”).

Only 1% of HR teams have achieved advanced AI implementation, according to the same SHRM report, creating a massive opportunity for those who can bridge the gap and challenges for HR leaders who can’t.
