The AI Playbook for HR Leaders provides a practical framework that blends vision with tactical execution. Responsible AI isn’t just a compliance exercise—it's a continuous process requiring monitoring, iteration, and cross-functional governance. ServiceNow’s AI Control Tower centralizes use case tracking, governance status, adoption metrics, and value realization. The AI Heat Map approach helps identify which tasks are most ripe for AI augmentation and where reskilling efforts should focus. Strategic reskilling efforts, like transitioning HR operations roles into people partner roles, show how AI can enable—not replace—human potential. HR-IT collaboration is essential to enabling governance, product experimentation, and sustained transformation. Upcoming research from ServiceNow estimates 8 million U.S. roles will be transformed by agentic AI in the next five years.
