AI in the Workplace:
The Employment Lifecycle and Legal Risks

Conceived and created by Daniel Barnett

AI is already Reshaping Your Workplace – Are You Ready?

Your employees are using ChatGPT.

Your candidates are submitting AI-written CVs. Your business is flirting with AI automation. And your legal obligations haven’t changed. 

The question is not if AI is affecting your organisation – it’s how much risk it’s creating without you knowing. 

This comprehensive Zoom seminar takes you through the entire employment lifecycle, highlighting where AI intersects with employment law, HR practice, and data protection – and what to do about it.

Monday 9 June 2025 | 2pm – 3.30pm (90 minutes)

In this packed, practitioner-focused seminar, you’ll learn:

How to handle AI-written CVs and cover letters – and what to do when candidates misrepresent themselves with machine help.

What the Equality Act 2010 and GDPR say about AI-driven shortlisting and hiring – and how to avoid indirect discrimination and unlawful automation.

How to structure onboarding, contracts, and policies to lock down AI risks – including essential clauses on IP, data protection, and disciplinary reach.

The everyday dangers of AI in workplace activity – from confidentiality breaches and hallucinated outputs to employer liability under negligence and vicarious liability.

How AI could be used to harass, discriminate, or bypass safeguards, and what that means for your grievance and anti-harassment procedures.

When AI misuse becomes misconduct – and when AI-led decisions risk unfair dismissal, GDPR Article 22 breaches, or reputational fallout.

What to do when AI starts replacing roles, including the legal process for redundancy, consultation, and avoiding discrimination.

Plus, you’ll get Clear, Actionable Recommendations on:

Writing (or updating) your AI usage policy
Training staff and managers
Conducting data protection impact assessments and audits
Managing AI use in performance and HR decisions
Building human-led governance models that regulators and tribunals will respect
