AI in the workplace

hero-image-0

AI is revolutionising the workplace, but employers must ensure that the use of AI complies with legal obligations regarding workers’ rights and data protection. Legal frameworks on AI are developing rapidly in many jurisdictions – our team will help you spot where the next challenge may arise so you are prepared.

In particular, employers should be aware of the EU AI Act adopted in 2024 and its potential impact on their operations. Our experts can help employers navigate the involvement of employee representatives, the use of ‘high-risk’ AI systems, the obligation to train your staff about AI, as well as advising on the appointment of a designated person within the organisation who will monitor the decisions made by AI systems to avoid discrimination bias.

Our specialists have been analysing various aspects of the EU AI Act, including its workplace effects, as part of a series of blog posts titled ‘EU AI Unpacked’, which you can access here.
