AI agents in the HR record: the ownership question, in plain terms
Explore the ownership questions surrounding AI agents in HR records, HCM systems, and HRIS platforms.
Recurring research series
Our recurring research series on how leaders build and govern the modern people-technology stack.
Edition 01 · 4 Sep 2026
Explore the ownership questions surrounding AI agents in HR records, HCM systems, and HRIS platforms.
Each edition takes one question about how leaders build and govern the modern people-technology stack - where AI in hiring actually earns its place, what workforce data really shows, which parts of the stack change outcomes for the business and for the people it affects - and answers it with data rather than opinion. Method, period and sample are stated in every edition.
Figures are sourced in the body of each edition. Where an edition relies on third-party data, the origin is linked; where it relies on our own collection, the collection method is described.
The series goes to the briefing list first.
