Why 80% of AI projects fail: a working session for HR and technical leaders

Many organizations have invested in AI with high expectations, only to find that the results fall short. While it's easy to assume the problem lies with the model or the technology itself, the real challenge is often much more human.

Join PowerToFly AI for an interactive virtual session exploring why so many AI initiatives fail to deliver their intended outcomes and what organizations can do differently. Designed for HR and technical leaders, this session will introduce a practical framework for identifying where AI initiatives stall and uncover a strategy that many organizations have yet to adopt, even as evolving regulations make successful AI implementation increasingly important.

Led by PowerToFly's Director of Content Marketing, Mara Gates, the session draws on a year of research into the human factors that determine whether AI projects succeed. Attendees will learn how to recognize the often-overlooked role people play between AI systems and business outcomes, and how addressing that gap can lead to more effective, sustainable adoption.

Participants will leave with:

  • A framework for diagnosing where their AI initiatives are stalling
  • Insight into a critical strategy many organizations are overlooking, and why now is the time to act
  • A better understanding of what helps teams successfully bridge the gap between AI technology and meaningful business results

Whether you're leading AI adoption, supporting workforce transformation, or shaping organizational strategy, this session will provide practical insights you can apply within your own organization.
