    Is AI creating a legal liability in your organisation?

    SHOW NOTES

    AI is moving faster than the law – is your business keeping up? In this episode of AHRI's ER/IR Unpacked, we strip away the hype to tackle the complexity and ambiguity of AI in the Australian workplace.
    We start with a quick ER/IR landscape update (2:14 mins) from Amal Cimino CPHR, HR Standards and Capability Development Manager at AHRI, before we go deep with Natalie Gaspar, Partner at Herbert Smith Freehills (9:00 mins), discussing recent NSW legislation that could impact broader states and territories and whether we should expect specific AI legal obligations on the horizon.
    Plus, we tackle the grey areas HR leaders actually face by answering listener questions that keep HR up at night (25:56 mins).
