Israeli Leaders Discuss Overcoming Human Barriers to AI Adoption for Growth
In the second meeting of the XimusNxt Change Leaders series, led by KPMG Israel, executives from leading Israeli organizations tackled the challenges of adopting artificial intelligence (AI). Ido Ron, KPMG Israel's AI Partner and Head of AI, warned that forcing employees to use AI without proper explanation often leads to implementation failure. He emphasized the importance of addressing employee fears and clearly communicating how AI can assist them.
Joining Ron, Leah Hamairi, Chief AI Officer at Meuhedet Health Services, highlighted human obstacles and resistance to change as major barriers to AI integration. Forum members shared innovative real-world AI applications, ranging from automating anti-money laundering risk classification to organizing internal hackathons that develop practical AI tools.
This collaborative forum aims to transform AI from a buzzword into a growth engine by focusing on human factors and creative use cases within organizations. The discussions underscore the need for transparent communication and employee involvement to successfully embed AI technologies in the workplace.
