AI in the workplace

Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers opportunities for employers at every stage of the employment lifecycle. However, the use of such tools can be at odds with the legal frameworks in which they operate.

A lack of bespoke rules which reflect modern ways of working and new technologies means employers must negotiate a matrix of existing employment laws and be alive to the risks arising. This includes the potential for bias and discrimination, the need to apply safeguards to automated decision-making, protection of employees' right to privacy and setting guardrails for the use of GenAI.
