Navigating AI in the workplace: legal implications and best practice

Join our Employment Club webinar on Thursday 28 September at 10am, which will delve into the fascinating topic of AI in the workplace.

In the two months after ChatGPT was launched, it grew to 100 million users, and 92% of employers plan to increase their use of AI in at least one area of HR in the next 12 to 18 months. AI is set to transform the world of work; what do you need to know in order to ensure legal compliance?

Dan Fawcett from our employment team, Katie Simmonds, privacy and technology lawyer, and Jenny Gibbs, commercial litigator specialising in privacy and disputes, will talk through the following issues:

• Introduction to AI
• How AI is being used in HR processes
• The legal framework: the Employment Rights Act 1996, the Equality Act 2010, data protection and privacy rights, the draft EU AI Act and relevant guidance from UK regulators
• Relevant cases
• What HR professionals need to do.

In the second part of the webinar, we will provide a general employment law update, covering important recent cases and what's in the pipeline, and we will finish with a Q&A session.
