The Compliance Minefield: AI Legal Essentials
Two more webinar dates in our AI in HR Series
The AI Reality Check for HR Leaders - 18.09.25
Your Digital Workforce: AI Agents Explained - 02.10.25
Date: Thursday 25th September 2025 | Time: 11:00-11:30
Part of our comprehensive "AI in HR: What to Do This Week" series that began five years ago, this crucial webinar navigates the complex legal landscape of HR AI. Building on our AI training research and 30 years of training experience, we combine blue-sky regulatory thinking with practical real-world compliance applications.
AI compliance isn't just about avoiding lawsuits - it's about building competitive advantage through responsible implementation. The EU AI Act, GDPR implications, and emerging "No Robo Bosses" legislation create a complex web of requirements that HR leaders must navigate carefully. This session will decode the essential legal requirements, share real-world compliance failures and their consequences, and provide you with a practical checklist for staying ahead of rapidly evolving regulations.
"A lot of chief human resource officers don't want to go to generative AI, because they have to get it compliant. Our view is, if we can make it compliant, we can make it innovative." - Jon Lester, VP HR Technology, IBM
Key Areas Covered: We'll decode EU AI Act implications for HR decisions and examine real-world compliance failures with lessons learned. You'll receive a practical legal checklist to implement this week for safe AI deployment.
