A survey by BrightPay, based on data from 296 industry practitioners, revealed that 56% of payroll specialists in the UK and Ireland occasionally use AI solutions, while an additional 24% intend to adopt the technology. However, 18% expressed no intention to use AI, citing skepticism towards current platforms. Primary AI applications among users include drafting communications (66%) and examining statutory rules (59%). The survey also found that 70% of respondents would welcome additional training on AI integration, and 44% anticipate AI will enhance professional effectiveness rather than displace staff.
