About the Program
Employers are using AI to recruit, hire, evaluate, and manage employees, and the law is racing to catch up. New state and local laws require bias audits, notices, and risk assessments, while plaintiffs are bringing discrimination claims against both employers and AI vendors. Do you know where the legal guardrails are and where the risks lie? This program gives employment counsel a practical framework for advising clients on the current rules, managing AI vendors, and building compliance programs that reduce litigation risk.
You Will Learn
- How to identify common workplace uses of AI and where legal risk arises
- About the key requirements of new state AI employment laws
- To evaluate AI bias claims under federal and state anti-discrimination laws
- To recognize privacy and data concerns raised by AI tools
