Session Overview
Artificial intelligence is no longer on the horizon — it is already becoming embedded in the workplace. From hiring tools to benefits platforms and more, AI is reshaping how employers build and support their workforce while improving the bottom line. With this rapid innovation comes increasing complexity, as employers must now navigate an evolving regulatory landscape that demands both strategic foresight and legal precision.
The question isn’t whether AI will impact your business. It’s whether you’re ready.
Join Davis+Gilbert attorneys as they spotlight the latest legal developments, highlight emerging risks and provide practical guidance to protect your business from regulatory exposure when harnessing AI’s potential. They’ll also share their perspective on broader factors impacting your business, including the current administration’s position on DEI and multiple key regulatory updates — so you can prepare, plan and implement with confidence.
