When Employees Misuse AI - Disciplinary & Employment Law Risks

Introduction

AI is a tool that means many tasks which were previously time consuming can be done quickly and efficiently. However, AI is also a tool that can be misused both deliberately or unintentionally.

Amidst the explosion in the use of AI in the workplace, this virtual classroom seminar will look at the risks that can arise, both disciplinary matters and then more widely in issues relating to employment law.

What You Will Learn

This live and interactive course will cover the following:

• Falsely claiming work as one’s own:
• Is doing work and not admitting that AI has contributed a disciplinary offence?
• Who owns work that has been generated by AI, rather than an employee tasked to do the work?
• Errors:
• What is the responsibility if employees produce work that is inaccurate because AI ‘hallucinated’?
• Is poor work, that is poor due to the use/misuse of AI, a conduct or a capability issue?
• Data protection risks:
• What are the implications of putting information into an AI tool, which could potentially appear in someone else’s search?
• Recruitment and redundancy decisions:
• There is a right to request human intervention, how does this sit alongside AI?
• What are the risks of relying on an AI algorithm and not being able to defend a decision that has been made?
• Discrimination:
• If AI suggests a decision that could be discriminatory, what is the liability of the employer?
• Grievances:
• What are the implications of an employee using AI to generate claims, which turn out to be false, relating to a colleague?
• If AI is used to generate correspondence such as emails, and it is deemed to be bullying or otherwise inappropriate, who is responsible?
• What needs to go into an AI policy
