AI & Employment Decisions
Presenter: Greg Robinson, KMK Law
From screening resumes and evaluating performance to managing reductions in force, HR professionals are increasingly turning to AI tools to streamline employment decisions. But what happens when the platform you relied on to flag underperformers produces flawed or biased results, or when AI-generated analyses end up in discovery because privilege was not properly maintained?
This session will walk through real-world scenarios illustrating both the promise and the pitfalls of AI in the workplace, offering practical strategies for leveraging these tools effectively while avoiding the legal landmines that come with over-reliance on technology you may not fully understand.
