AI in the Workplace Has Arrived – What Employers Should Know (and Do) Now

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly transforming how employers recruit, hire, and manage talent. But as new laws emerge at both the federal and state levels, legal risk is rising – especially for employers using automated tools without fully understanding how they operate or affect decision-making.

• New and proposed laws impacting AI use in employment, including recruitment, hiring, and performance management
• Key risk areas in AI-driven employment decisions
• What to ask your vendors (and your legal team)
• How to prepare a defensible AI bias audit
• Practical strategies to reduce exposure while leveraging AI effectively
