AI in the Workplace: leveraging opportunities while avoiding legal risks

As AI tools become embedded in everyday tasks, employers must set firm boundaries and provide clear guidelines. Without robust AI policies, employees may unintentionally misuse tools like ChatGPT leading to the unintentional spread of misinformation, privacy and data security risks, legal and compliance concerns, and issues with clients, amongst other things.

At the same time, growing numbers of employers and HR professionals are leaning on AI themselves, whether it’s to speed up recruitment processes, draft employment documents, or get advice on employee relations issues. While there are legitimate use cases, over-reliance could lead to discrimination complaints, legal errors, and costly Employment Tribunal claims.
