WEBINAR | THE Expanded Focus Series
The Expanded Focus Series: Artificial Intelligence
PROGRAM CHAIRS: Institute Faculty Michelle Duncan and Annette Tyman
As AI tools become increasingly embedded in hiring, performance management, and day-to-day HR operations, the legal landscape is evolving rapidly. Federal policy is shifting, states are enacting their own laws governing AI in employment, and litigation over algorithmic bias is on the rise. This webinar will give employers a practical overview of the current federal and state regulatory landscape, key lessons emerging from recent litigation, and best practices for turning AI risk into readiness—including how AI intersects with existing civil rights, privacy, and labor obligations.
Designed for HR, legal, and compliance leaders, this installment provides practical insights for anyone responsible for selecting, governing, or defending AI tools across the employment lifecycle—including in-house counsel, talent acquisition and people analytics teams, EEO professionals, and other workplace leaders.
This webinar is part of The Expanded Focus Series: practitioner-led, in-depth webinars exploring the compliance issues shaping today’s workplace.
The Institute for Workplace Equality is recognized by SHRM to offer Professional Development Credits (PDCs) for SHRM-CP® or SHRM-SCP® recertification activities.

ABOUT THE EXPANDED FOCUS SERIES
Today’s employers are navigating a challenging regulatory landscape that extends well beyond traditional EEO obligations—including the rapid adoption of AI, increasing immigration and worksite enforcement, and a growing web of EU and global requirements affecting U.S. employers.
Led by government officials, enforcement practitioners, and subject matter experts, each webinar focuses on a single high-priority topic, examining the latest legal and regulatory developments, enforcement priorities, and practical strategies for employers. Webinars also explore how these issues intersect with broader workplace compliance obligations.
