Organizations seeing the most benefits from Artificial Intelligence (AI) work are more likely to be true believers in cognitive capabilities. Indeed, AI high performers, as identified by McKinsey, invested more of their digital budgets in AI than their counterparts, were more likely to increase their AI investments in the next three years, and employ more AI-related talent, such as data engineers, data architects, and translators, than their counterparts. Winning over the end users of AI-enabled capabilities is just as – if not more – important to your success. "Winning support for AI across the business is crucial for CIOs and other IT leaders hoping to scale their programs," says Dan Simion, vice president of AI & Analytics at Capgemini North America. The implementation of AI across the entire Lenovo organization is enabling greater efficiency and effectiveness.

Artificial intelligence and human resources may seem like strange allies at first glance. Artificial intelligence (AI) calls to mind words such as "cold," "robotic," and "automated," while human resources (HR) is, for all intents and purposes, focused on people and relationships. Even the names themselves seem hopelessly at odds: AI is artificial; HR is human. This cursory lens may be an underlying reason why HR has been one of the last functions to adopt AI technologies, while nearly every other department is in the midst of an AI frenzy. The truth is that AI and HR are actually a far better-suited match than their competing labels would suggest.
