Artificial Intelligence in the Human Resources Department: Legal Risks
Daniel Butler, Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP
Artificial intelligence is creeping into many facets of human life. The human resources department is no exception. Numerous AI tools are marketed to human resource professionals with the promise of a more diverse and productive workforce. AI can be beneficial, but undisciplined implementation can lead to discriminatory outcomes. Participants will learn how to:
