The use of Artificial Intelligence tools is becoming prevalent and widely-accepted as part of workplace decision making. This is true through the entire employment relationship — from hiring and performance management to monitoring and termination decisions, and all the way to employment litigation. While these tools promise advantages and benefits including efficiency and faster and smarter decision-making, their use raises complex and evolving legal issues for employers, particularly when disputes arise.
In this 60-minute webinar, we will examine the employment law, human rights, privacy, and decision-making risks associated with AI use in the workplace, with a specific focus on litigation exposure and defensibility. The session will provide a practical framework for identifying pitfalls, assessing risk, anticipating challenges, and implementing governance measures that support defensible decision making before a claim arises.
Topics to be covered include:
• Where and how AI is being used in employment decisions—and why informal or unmanaged use creates legal risk
• Human rights and bias issues arising from AI assisted hiring, performance management, and termination decisions
• Privacy and surveillance risks, including the creation, use, and disclosure of AI generated workplace data in litigation
• Labour relations implications, including technological change, grievances, and management rights considerations
• Evidentiary and procedural challenges in employment litigation involving AI supported decisions
• Practical governance strategies to reduce litigation risk and support defensible outcomes
