You want to use AI. Do you know the risks?

from Ground Rules: Employment Law Over Your Coffee Break · host Pam Howland

Artificial intelligence is moving into the workplace faster than most employers can keep up with — especially in hiring, HR, and day-to-day operations. But with that opportunity comes growing legal and compliance risk.In this episode of Ground Rules, Pam Howland, Jennifer Walrath, and Doug Plass sit down with Ally Ross of Saig Advice to talk about what employers should actually be thinking about when it comes to AI in the workplace. From AI-driven hiring tools and bias audits to employee resistance, training, and the importance of having the right people at the table, this conversation focuses on what thoughtful and responsible AI implementation really looks like.The group also discusses emerging lawsuits involving AI hiring platforms, why employers cannot simply “blame the AI,” and how HR, legal, operations, and technology teams all play a role in managing risk moving forward.If your organization is trying to figure out where AI fits — and how to stay compliant while using it — this episode is a practical starting point.*Ground Rules hosts and guests are not providing legal advice in this podcast.
