Description
Join us for practical guidance on reducing legal, privacy and discrimination risks when using AI in the workplace
Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping the workplace. Employers and lawyers are using AI to draft documents, analyse information and support employment decisions.
While AI can improve productivity, it can increase legal, privacy and discrimination risks. Employers must comply with New Zealand employment law, even where AI assists with workplace decisions or prepares employment documents.
This webinar explores how AI affects employers' obligations under the Employment Relations Act 2000, Privacy Act 2020 and Human Rights Act 1993.
We will examine AI risks throughout the employment lifecycle, from recruitment to performance management, workplace investigations, disciplinary processes, restructuring, and employment litigation.
Topics include privacy, confidentiality, workplace surveillance, AI hallucinations, governance and relevant case law.
As use of AI becomes more common, this webinar will help you identify legal risks, reduce liability and strengthen workplace decision-making.
Ideal for HR professionals, managers, employers, and advisers, this webinar provides practical guidance on using AI responsibly while complying with employment law.
You will learn how to:
- Identify legal, privacy and discrimination risks when using AI in employment.
- Apply good faith and fair process obligations when AI supports workplace decisions.
- Protect employee information, confidential data and legally privileged communications.
- Avoid common AI pitfalls, including bias, inaccurate legal advice and hallucinated case law.
- Develop practical governance processes for the safe and responsible use of AI.
