AI and Employment law: HR’s roadmap to compliance
When: 2pm ET, Wednesday, March 25, 2026
Duration: 60 minutes
AI is rapidly reshaping every stage of the employment lifecycle, and the legal landscape is shifting just as quickly – exposing HR and employers, especially multistate employers to expanding compliance obligations and legal risk. The patchwork of state and local laws, the federal executive order seeking state law preemption and increased attention to AI-related lawsuits are creating uncertainty and potential liability for even routine HR processes, such as recruiting, employee monitoring and data handling responsibilities. While there are many benefits to using AI, it is critical for HR leaders to understand what safeguards are needed to ensure AI compliance and mitigate discrimination claims, privacy violations and data breaches.
Join Seyfarth Shaw LLP attorneys Robert Szyba and Joseph Vele for this dynamic 60-minute program that cuts through the complexity and provides a practical roadmap for navigating AI-related employment laws. They’ll explain the challenging legal landscape – including the effect of the federal executive order on AI laws – and highlight the most significant legal pitfalls emerging in recruiting and employee management. They will discuss litigation risks and share strategies HR can use right now to manage AI tools responsibly and lawfully.
Attendees will be able to:
- Identify key state and local regulatory developments
- Recognize major AI compliance and risk areas in their workplace
- Implement strategies to reduce legal exposure from AI tools
- Strengthen policies and procedures to address AI use across workplace functions
- And more!
Live attendees will receive SHRM and HRCI credits.
