Overview
Join us for Coffee + Counsel, a complimentary webinar series where you can connect with our legal team for an unscripted discussion about issues relevant to organizations operating in Alberta and the Northwest Territories.
We'll be sharing our perspectives, but we also want to hear from you - your questions will guide the conversation and help us understand the issues that matter most to you.
Artificial intelligence is moving into the workplace faster than many policies and processes can keep up. From drafting emails and summarizing documents to screening candidates and supporting day-to-day decisions, AI can improve efficiency, but it can also create legal and operational risks for employers.
Join Laura MacFarlane, Joël Michaud, Evie Maldonado and Austin Ward for a practical discussion on what HR professionals need to consider as AI use grows in the workplace. Bring your coffee, lunch and questions for an open Q+A on emerging legal issues, common risks and practical steps for responsible AI use.
Topics will include:
- What legal and practical risks arise when employees are using AI without formal approval or oversight (“shadow AI”)?
- What privacy, human rights, confidentiality, and data security considerations should employers be thinking about?
- When can AI tools create discrimination, accommodation, or bias concerns in hiring, performance management, and workplace decision making?
- What should an effective workplace AI-use policy include to support responsible and consistent implementation?
- What training, governance, and internal guardrails should organizations consider as workplace AI use continues to evolve?
Who should attend? This session will be of interest to employers, HR professionals, executives, in-house counsel, managers, and operational leaders responsible for workplace policies, people management, privacy, risk, or technology adoption.
This session is being recorded. If you are unable to attend at the scheduled time, please register to receive a link to the recording.
