Welcome back to the Employment Law Lens series hosted by HRNZ & JB Morrison Lawyers for our sixth session, and the second in 2024. 
In this seminar, we dive into the topic of artificial intelligence (“AI”), with a particular focus on its relationship with employment law in NZ.  This is a great opportunity for HR professionals, employers, and those interested in this topic to learn more about the legal ramifications of the increased use of AI in NZ and how that influences some workplace behaviour.  What should organisations be thinking about, what should they be doing differently?  Think policies, AI flaws and the risk of possible bias or discrimination with some uses. 
JB Morrison Lawyers’ employment law team will focus on how they see AI being implemented in the workplace, particularly around employment matters such as recruitment, drafting documents, and performance, disciplinary and restructure processes. 
Following this seminar, you will be equipped with useful strategies to make sure AI is implemented effectively (and legally) in your workplace along with some thought provoking questions to take away with you.  As always, bring along your questions, thoughts and war stories
