Over the past year, I have had more conversations about AI in HR than almost any other topic. What strikes me most is not fear of the technology. In fact, most senior HR leaders are already using it in some capacity, whether in their recruiting platforms, their performance systems or their analytics dashboards. In some cases, it was introduced intentionally. In others, it arrived through software updates that added new functionality almost overnight.

The common thread is this: adoption is happening faster than governance.

I’ve seen strong strategies fail for a simple reason: the culture couldn’t carry them. Not because the strategy was wrong or because the market shifted, but because when it came time to execute, people’s behavior didn’t match the ambition.

Leaders spend months refining strategy: markets, growth, positioning. The logic is sound. The deck is tight. Everyone aligns. Then things stall.

“The shift from 5% to 9% reflects something real happening inside organizations, and AI transformation is the primary driver,” Vishnu Shankar, chief data officer at Draup, a talent intelligence company, said in an email. “Not because companies are replacing workers, but because AI is increasing role complexity faster than existing training programs were designed for.”

HR has a translation problem. ​When many of us walk into an executive meeting and give a presentation on engagement, culture or employee experience, we can lose the room before we finish our first sentence. But it's not because those things don’t matter at all. It's because we're not translating them into the language of business outcomes.​​
