AI in the Workplace | leveraging opportunities while avoiding legal risk
Join us at our free in-person event in London to learn how AI is transforming the way businesses operate.
AI isn’t just a tech issue – it’s an employment law issue. Employees are increasingly using AI tools to support their day to day tasks, while employers are turning to it to inform decision-making. While AI offers significant opportunities to streamline workflows and enhance productivity, it also brings significant risk – particularly in HR and legal matters.
Our WorkNest 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.
26 March 10.00 am - 12.00 pm
Apex City of London, 1 Seething Lane, London EC3N 4AX
As AI tools become embedded in our day to day tasks, employers must set firm boundaries and provide clear guidelines to ensure organisations are staying compliant. Without robust AI policies, employees may unintentionally misuse tools like ChatGPT, leading to the unintentional spread of misinformation, privacy and data security risks and, legal and compliance concerns.
At this free in-person session, WorkNest’s Employment Law and HR expert, Patrick Carroll-Fogg, will explore the key legal risks and considerations surrounding AI in the workplace. You’ll learn how to protect your organisation, encourage responsible AI use among your workforce and reduce exposure to legal risk. We’ll also share insights on how AI can compliment decision-making along with real-life examples of where things have gone wrong to help you recognise the risks and avoid similar mistakes.
What's on the agenda
- An introduction to AI in the workplace: Gain a clear understanding of what Ai is and how it’s changing the way we work. We’ll explore both the opportunities AI presents and the risks it introduces, outlining why a proactive, informed approach is essential for employers.
- Dos and don’ts for employers: Get practical guidance on how to get your workforce to adopt using AI responsibly, set boundaries, and reduce the risk of legal and compliance issues.
