employment, Compliance & AI

The Lawyer's Guide to What AI Can and Can't Do

A working framework for hiring, classification, and compliance decisions.

Every vendor in HR, procurement, and contingent workforce now claims to be AI-powered. Few of them tell you where the AI actually sits in the decision chain, and the EU AI Act is about to make that question much harder to dodge. This isn't a session about AI hype. It's about the line: where AI assists, where it stays out, and how to tell the difference when you're the one accountable for the decision.
