Bridging the AI Implementation Gap in HR: From Hype to Value, by Jonathan H. Westover PhD

Abstract: Despite surging interest in artificial intelligence within human resources, most organizations remain in the early stages of their AI journey, with two-thirds having less than one year of implementation experience. This article synthesizes research and practitioner insights from David Green's comprehensive September 2025 HR analytics review to examine why many HR departments struggle to realize value from their AI investments. The analysis explores the implementation gap between AI ambition and business outcomes, revealing that successful organizations prioritize workflow redesign over technology adoption, take a product-centric approach to implementation, and maintain a focus on human oversight. The article provides a structured framework for HR leaders to move beyond pilot implementations to achieve scalable, value-generating AI applications that augment rather than replace human capabilities.
