Unreliable data, internal silos and slow processes are holding AI back: How HR can lead the way forward

AI is ready but your data isn’t. While IT teams may be building fast, HR often struggles to move beyond siloed systems, outdated processes, and inconsistent people data. This session tackles the root causes of slow AI adoption in HR and explores how leaders can take control: from cleaning up legacy data, to aligning with IT and legal, to building a culture that turns insight into action. It’s time for HR to stop waiting for better data and start shaping it.

For HR, the real challenge isn’t the technology but the broken foundations it sits on. Siloed systems, mismatched definitions and slow governance are stalling AI adoption across the people function. This panel cuts through the hype to ask: what if HR is the key to fixing it? From aligning with IT and legal to owning workforce data strategy, HR has a critical role to play in making AI real, responsible and ready for impact.

  • Why bad data is the real AI blocker, and how HR can clean, connect and standardize workforce information
  • Breaking the silo mindset: Aligning data sources across HR, IT, legal and operations
  • The speed gap: How differences in AI maturity between teams are delaying business-wide progress
  • Rethinking ownership: Why HR must lead on defining data governance and ethical AI frameworks
  • From passive to proactive: How HR can create agile feedback loops that keep AI aligned with business and people needs
  • Practical first steps: Building AI-ready foundations without waiting for perfect systems
