Topic:  How AI s Changing Payroll Jobs and How to Adapt Your Payroll Career

Summary:  Many payroll professionals understandably have mixed views about a new "coworker" already making a significant impact in their department: artificial intelligence (AI). On the one hand, they see how AI can be a powerhouse player on their team, helping to automate and streamline time-consuming and tedious work like data entry, calculations, and recordkeeping.  But the fact that AI is so adept at handling these and other tasks has payroll pros wondering what increased reliance on the technology might mean for their payroll career path
