AI has already begun changing the way we work, and further change in the coming years is inevitable.  The FCA and PRA have outlined their strategic approaches to AI regulation, focusing on promoting safe and responsible use while fostering innovation. Meanwhile, the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has indicated that it will be focussing on the use of AI in recruitment and developing solutions to address bias and discrimination in AI systems.
The Labour government has also indicated it will be considering how to promote best practice in safeguarding against threats to privacy through surveillance technology, spy ware and discriminatory algorithmic decision-making.  While AI will no doubt open a number of opportunities for employers, its increased use will also come with risks, and it is important that employers grapple with these from an early stage.
In November’s HR forum, we explore what AI means for HR and employment law with Clyde & Co’s employment team.
 Key topics will include:
The regulators’ strategies for the regulation of AI in financial services
AI in HR procedures – hiring, day-to-day work, and redundancies and dismissals
Risks in relation to discrimination and data protection
Recent cases and lessons learnt
What does this mean for HR going forward?
