  TOPIC: "AI in HR: Friend or Foe?  An Employment Lawyer’s Perspective"

  Join Brian Bouchard, Esq. of Sheehan Phinney for an engaging, interactive webinar on leveraging artificial intelligence in the HR field. Using real-world examples, Attorney Brian Bouchard will discuss the legal implications of using (and in some cases not using) AI, policies every employer should consider for the future of work involving AI, recent regulatory initiatives surrounding AI use, and why having AI perform HR-related tasks may not always be the bargain it seems. Don't miss this chance to gain insights on this topic and stay ahead of the curve on this rapidly evolving technology. Walk away with actionable steps to implement AI responsibly and ethically within your HR and business practices.
