An Employer's Guide to Outsmarting Artificial Intelligence Liability in the Workplace

Employers must navigate the complexities of using artificial intelligence (AI) in the workplace, as laws regulating AI are evolving rapidly. The use of AI, initially aimed at improving efficiency, can lead to significant risks if not managed transparently. Regular audits and careful vendor agreements are essential to mitigate potential liabilities and ensure fair employment practices.

Recent court rulings indicate that employers may be held liable for biased AI practices used by their vendors, particularly in hiring processes. Legislative changes in states like New York and Colorado are setting new standards for AI use in employment, requiring bias audits and transparency. Employers should proactively adapt their policies and vendor contracts to align with these legal developments and safeguard against discrimination.
