A Conversation about Going From AI Enthusiasm to Accountable HR Adoption

This research explores the necessity of ethical governance and human accountability when integrating artificial intelligence into human resource management. Drawing on research from Thailand, the author argues that organizational readiness depends more on transparent decision-making and practitioner capability than on technical enthusiasm alone. The research emphasizes a framework of accountable adoption, where deployment is contingent upon evidence of safety and the ability of staff to critically evaluate AI outputs. By examining case studies from banking and healthcare, the research illustrates how proactive oversight and stakeholder protection can bridge the gap between AI's potential and its responsible use. Ultimately, the research suggests that justified confidence in technology is only possible when human oversight and clear responsibility remain central to the process.
