A Comparative Study of Awareness and Usage of Artificial Intelligence and Between HR and Finance Professionals

Abstract

The importance of conducting a comparative study of awareness and usage of Artificial Intelligence (AI) between HR and Finance professionals lies in understanding how AI adoption varies across these two critical organizational functions. HR professionals leverage AI to streamline recruitment, enhance employee engagement, and optimize workforce management, while finance professionals use AI for financial forecasting, fraud detection, and risk management. By examining the levels of awareness and specific applications in both domains, the study can highlight gaps in understanding and adoption, enabling organizations to develop targeted training programs and strategic interventions to enhance AI integration. Such insights are crucial for ensuring that professionals in both fields are equipped to harness AI’s potential effectively. Moreover, this study is significant as it provides a framework for assessing the impact of AI on organizational efficiency, decision-making, and innovation across diverse functions. By comparing the experiences of HR and Finance professionals, the research can reveal industry-specific challenges and opportunities, informing policy-making and investment in AI technologies. It also helps identify best practices in AI implementation that can be cross-applied to other functions, fostering a more cohesive and adaptive organizational culture. Ultimately, this research contributes to the broader discourse on AI’s role in reshaping the workforce and driving business transformation.
