HR technology, every morning — wired to the companies and people behind it.
Workforce AI remains under scrutiny today as a PayrollOrg survey finds employee discomfort with AI in payroll has risen to 46%, while an ongoing Workday discrimination lawsuit continues to raise questions about liability for AI bias in hiring. On the product front, Logile is adding agentic AI to help retailers forecast workforce needs further in advance, Honorlock is launching tools to detect AI-driven hiring fraud, and Zensai is set to unveil an agentic AI coaching platform built for Microsoft at HumanX Amsterdam. Rounding out the day, Spott has closed a $21M Series A for its AI-native recruitment-agency OS, 360training has acquired Atlantic Training to expand its safety course catalog, and HR Tech 2026 has announced 33 contestants for its startup competition.

A new PayrollOrg survey finds employee discomfort with AI in payroll is growing: 46% of respondents said they are uncomfortable with AI in payroll processes (22% very, 24% somewhat), up from 39% in 2024, while only 25% reported being comfortable. The survey drew 11,171 respondents nationwide (9,451 answered the AI question). PayrollOrg executive director Dan Maddux said payroll leaders have an opportunity to help employees understand how the technology supports payroll, while UKG's Patrick Tripp called payroll 'at an inflection point, still largely in evaluation and pilot mode.'
