64% of Workers Choose AI Over Humans. What Should CHROs Do?

About This Episode

Why are 64% of workers saying they'd rather collaborate with AI than with a human colleague? This is data from recent research, and it has massive implications for every HR leader and CHRO watching this. In this episode, I sit down with Kelly Monahan to unpack the forces driving this shift, what it reveals about trust and collaboration in the modern workplace, and what people leaders need to do right now to stay ahead of it. What we cover: → What the 64% stat actually measures — and what it means → Why workers are making this choice and what it says about human collaboration → How CHROs should respond to this workforce signal in 2026 → What the next 12 months look like for AI in the enterprise → The one mistake HR leaders make when they see data like this Take the FutHRist Self-Assessment: Are you ready for the next wave of AI and workforce transformation? ww.trentcotton.com/futhrist-self-assessment Connect with Kelly Monahan: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kelly-monahan-ph-d-18879413/ #CHRO #FutureOfWork #AIinHR #WorkforceTransformation #HRLeadership #HumanCapitalist #FutureOfHR #ArtificialIntelligence #HRPodcast #PeopleAnalytics Learn more about your ad choices.
