Episode 387: Law and Employment in the Age of AI: Where Does Accountability Lie?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, we explore how artificial intelligence is transforming power, accountability, and trust inside organisations. From algorithmic hiring and performance management to the legal risks of "shadow AI" and workplace surveillance, we discuss what businesses need to understand as AI increasingly shapes employment decisions.
We discuss:
How far AI has already moved into hiring, performance management, and employment decisions
Whether our legal systems and employment frameworks are prepared for accelerating AI capability
What "human in the loop" really means, and the legal risks when it's missing
Real-world litigation, including the Workday hiring-discrimination lawsuit and a Delaware Chancery case over an AI-influenced business decision
Shadow AI: why employees bring their own AI tools to work, and what that exposes about leadership
Where to draw the line between legitimate monitoring and excessive surveillance
Who inside an organisation should own AI-related employment risk — the board, HR, Legal, IT, or the CEO
Practical steps every business leader should prioritise over the next 12 months
