Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers opportunities for employers at every stage of the employment lifecycle. However, the use of such tools can be at odds with the legal frameworks in which they operate. A lack of bespoke rules which reflect modern ways of working and new technologies means employers must negotiate a matrix of existing employment laws and be alive to the risks arising. This includes the potential for bias and discrimination, the need to apply safeguards to automated decision-making, protection of employees' right to privacy and setting guardrails for the use of GenAI.

Sinead Casey, partner in our Employment & Incentives practice, talks about AI in the workplace.

AI is at the forefront of driving a workplace revolution. From recruitment and onboarding to performance management, reward and retention - AI is beginning to play a pivotal role at each stage of the employment lifecycle.

But with great potential comes great responsibility and significant risks and challenges that employers need to be mindful of, either as seasoned users or at the start of their AI journey.
