Artificial intelligence and data are the highest priority technology investments, with 79 percent of CHROs planning to invest in those areas in 2024, a 10 percent increase from this year.       AI is the focus, but which departments will benefit the most? HR isn't funneling all those added AI investment dollars just to its function. In fact, HR leaders said the top AI investment priority in their organization is customer service (56 percent), followed by HR (45 percent) and finance (44 percent). That's because customer service is seen as an area that can reap quicker ROI from AI (and improve the quality of those jobs).       Tech and AI also top HR's list of 2024 concerns When asked about their top concerns for 2024, CHROs cited the ability to adapt to advancements in technology innovations (such as AI) and concerns about security breaches. Those two are linked. Nearly half of organizations (48 percent) said they have extensively adopted AI tools and technology in recent years to improve cybersecurity.     SOURCE: ACCENTURE PULSE OF CHANGE SURVEY, SEPTEMBER 2023.     People + Strategy Podcast: Andre Joyner on Diversity, Talent Shortages and AI   In the December edition of the SHRM Executive Network's  People + Strategy podcast, Andre Joyner, the CHRO of JCPenney, discusses return-to-work issues, how his company is using diversity to navigate talent shortages and the nuances of an AI future.
