FULL STORY
======================================================================

New research has revealed a distinct divide between perception and reality 
continues to plague the artificial intelligence landscape, with many workers 
seemingly afraid to admit to seeing its benefits. 

A study by Deel highlighted Gen Z workers would "rarely or never" mention 
having skills on a particular AI platform in an interview. 

Nearly a third (30%) said this reluctance comes from a belief that hiring 
managers would not see the value in AI skills, depsite the technology 
becoming increasingly widespread. Non-AI users continue to be hesitant 

A further survey by the company also found while nearly two-thirds (61%) of 
HR decision-makers believe AI will positively impact practices over the next 
five years, most of them are unlikely to adopt it soon. 

That sentiment is even more apparent among non-users, with nearly 
three-quarters (70%) unlikely to implement AI within the next year. 

The most commonly perceived use case for artificial intelligence in the HR 
sector is analytics (46%), with one in three also noting its benefits in 
checking employment laws (37%), employee learning and development (35%), 
payroll management (34%) and accessing hiring data and insights (33%). 

However, the positive sentiment isnt mirrored across all HR firms. Deel found 
that under-35s are the most likely to be optimistic about AI, with four in 
five (83%) in that age category expecting it to have a somewhat or 
significantly positive impact on HR in the next five years. 

On the other end of the scale, over-55s were among the least optimistic, with 
around one in four (26%) expecting AI to have a somewhat or significantly 
negative impact. 

Larger companies were also found to be more likely to perceive artificial 
intelligence as being positive compared with those with fewer employees. 

Surprisingly, only 16% were concerned about either AI reliability and 
accuracy or data security and privacy, highlighting the relative readiness 
for the technology. 

This reluctance to adopt AI is not just about the use of technology, it means 
many businesses are missing a trick in terms of gaining a competitive 
advantage in efficiency and strategic insight," noted Deel Head of Product, 
Payments and Integration, Aaron Goldsmid. More from TechRadar Pro Check out
