What You'll Learn

Artificial Intelligence has reached a critical tipping point in the workplace, with adoption now outpacing the legal “wait-and-see” period. As organizations increasingly rely on AI for recruiting, performance management, and workforce analytics, HR professionals are navigating a rapidly evolving landscape of regulatory obligations, data privacy concerns, and organizational risk. Understanding the laws, governance expectations, and potential liabilities associated with AI is no longer optional—it is an essential component of modern human resources leadership.
  1. Distinguish between the major categories of AI-related employment risk, including discrimination and disparate impact liability, data privacy concerns, vendor liability, and emerging state-law obligations.
  2. Evaluate AI vendor contracts and tools using a governance checklist that examines functionality, data usage, bias testing methods, and vendor documentation.
  3. Draft or assess an AI use policy that defines approved tools, prohibited uses, and escalation procedures for unauthorized or “shadow AI” applications.
  4. Identify recordkeeping and retention requirements associated with AI-assisted employment decisions.
  5. Map organizational accountability for AI governance by defining oversight responsibilities across HR, Legal, and IT teams and establishing audit practices.
