Bridging the gap | CIPD leads research on how HR can support ethical AI adoption

Efforts to boost AI use will be undermined if key people and organisational factors aren’t properly understood, the CIPD says, as it begins a government-backed programme to help bridge the gap between AI innovation and responsible implementation.

The CIPD is partnering with Innovate UK’s BridgeAI programme to understand the areas of HR, organisation strategy, and people development practice crucial to successful AI implementation at work. The research will help shape frameworks for ethical and responsible use of AI, and employers’ understanding of skills and organisational development needs.
