  • 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.

    As one of the first government officials to address Artificial Intelligence’s impact on the workforce, his highest priority while in government was ensuring that artificial intelligence and workplace technologies are designed and deployed consistent with long-standing laws so companies can properly use and deploy these tools.

    Sonderling’s presentations provide an in-depth understanding of the ramifications, both good and bad, of Artificial Intelligence in all aspects of workforce management. 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.
