AI is transforming the way businesses operate; employees are increasingly using it to support their day-to-day tasks, while employers are turning to it to help inform decision-making — particularly in HR and legal matters. While AI offers significant opportunities to streamline workflows and enhance productivity, it also brings substantial risks.

As AI tools become embedded in everyday tasks, employers must set firm boundaries and provide clear guidelines. Without robust AI policies, employees may unintentionally misuse tools like ChatGPT, leading to the unintentional spread of misinformation, privacy and data security risks, legal and compliance concerns, and issues with clients, amongst other things.

At the same time, growing numbers of employers and HR professionals are leaning on AI themselves, whether it’s to speed up recruitment processes, draft employment documents, or get advice on employee relations issues. In fact, our recent poll shows that nearly 1 in 3 HR professionals are already using AI to support their role. While there are clear benefits, over-reliance on these tools can lead to unintended consequences, including discrimination claims, legal mistakes, and costly Employment Tribunal proceedings.

In this free 60-minute session, WorkNest’s Employment Law and HR experts will explore the key legal risks and considerations surrounding AI in the workplace. You’ll learn how to safeguard your organisation, promote responsible AI use among your workforce and prevent potential legal pitfalls. We’ll also share insights on how AI can complement HR decision-making — along with real-life examples of where things have gone wrong, helping you recognise the risks and avoid similar mistakes.
