About this webinar:
AI is no longer a future concept; it’s already embedded in the tools and processes HR teams rely on every day. From hiring decisions to employee engagement, AI is influencing outcomes at scale.
Whilst this brings great opportunities, it also introduces risks leaving HR leaders to navigate an increasingly complex and automated workplace. When things go wrong, the consequences can be significant, from bias and misinformation to reputational and financial risk.
The real question isn’t whether to adopt AI anymore. It’s whether you understand the risks well enough to use it safely.
This session takes a practical, people-first approach to using AI. Using real-world case studies, we’ll show you where AI fails, why it fails, and most importantly how HR can build the governance and safeguards needed to use it safely.
What you'll learn?
By the end of this session, you’ll be able to:
- Identify the most common AI failure types in HR
- Understand why these failures happen and how to prevent them
- Spot early warning signs before issues escalate
- Build a practical AI governance framework
- Implement safeguards to protect your organisation and employees
- Confidently challenge vendors on transparency and fairness
Watch on-demand now to understand how AI is redefining HR’s responsibilities, understand how to use it safely and effectively, and lead AI change in your organisation with confidence.
