  • Artificial Intelligence - The Promise and Perils of AI in Employment Decision-Making

    Companies are using AI to make employment decisions at every stage of the job life cycle, from hiring to promotion to firing, and now are faced with deciding how generative AI will benefit workers or replace them with technology. AI-driven technologies have the potential to make the workplace more open, fair, and inclusive by eliminating unlawful discrimination from employment decisions. However, AI can also amplify workplace bias if it is poorly designed or carelessly deployed.

Drawing on real-world examples, Sonderling provides an overview of the promise and perils of using AI to make employment decisions, covering ethical concerns, liability, and return on investment for AI systems. As governments worldwide grapple with how to regulate AI in the workplace, Sonderling will provide an overview of the legal frameworks governing AI from across the globe and provide his own insights as a prior regulator and having the responsibility to run a regulatory and law enforcement agency charged with governing AI.
