Research suggests only 34% of organizations have policies for using generative AI, and even fewer have effective training programs in place.
A report from technology analyst firm Valoir has found that most companies are either already leveraging AI for HR activities, such as recruiting, learning, and talent management, or they plan to do so within the next 24 months.
However, there’s a significant gap in terms of policies, practices, and training for safe and effective AI adoption. Only 34% of organizations have a policy on generative AI (gen AI), and even fewer offer effective training.
This result suggests that HR departments must prioritize developing robust policies, guidance, and training to ensure AI adoption maximizes benefits while minimizing risks within HR and across the rest of the organization. What you need to know
Here are some of the key findings from Valoir’s research: Understanding the value of AI in HR
HR leaders see the most potential benefit from AI in the areas of recruiting (25%), training and development (18%), core HR (11%), performance management (10%), and workforce management (10%).
Talent management, which was the third-ranked area for AI’s perceived value potential in 2023, fell behind core HR, performance management, and workforce management in 2025.
The driver behind the increased value of AI in HR is that gen AI’s authoring, recommendation, and summarization capabilities have vastly improved in the past two years.
