An IBM study found that 60% of employees worry artificial intelligence is eroding their skills, with critical thinking cited most often.

Nearly half of organizations reportedly do not involve CHROs in defining AI strategy, while AI adoption within HR functions remains significantly behind adoption elsewhere.
