Brightmine, a leading global provider of people data, analytics, and insight, and HR Dive, a publication that provides in-depth journalism and insight into the most impactful news and trends shaping human resources, jointly released a new survey report that illustrates how HR leaders can add more business value by rethinking how they harness AI. The report reveals that while nearly all organizations have experienced significant improvements through AI adoption, three roadblocks prevent HR leaders from fully maximizing AI's benefits:

• Lack of Understanding of AI Tools: 50%
• Lack of Alignment on AI Deployment: 40%
• Absence of Formal AI Policy: 40%

Emily Mackenzie, AVP of Market Planning and Product at Brightmine, attributes these challenges to executives' tendency to overthink the technology and, instead, urges HR leaders to focus less on the technology itself and more on the results they want to achieve with it. "When organizations embrace change, it often leads to results, and AI is just another change in a new skin," says Mackenzie. “The most important thing for HR leaders to do now is identify clear AI use cases, focus on desired results, and develop a comprehensive AI policy from there.”

Despite these roadblocks, embracing AI can lead to organizational improvements, with 92% of HR executives already seeing an improvement in one or more areas when using AI. Specifically, the report found improvements in the following areas:

• Learning and Development: 47%
• Talent Acquisition: 31%
• Workforce Planning: 31%
• Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: 29%
• Benefits Management: 23%

The report offers further actionable insight from experts like Mackenzie and practical advice on maximizing AI in your organization (even if you’re not an AI expert).
