Webinar Description

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly becoming part of everyday work: embedded in HR platforms, decision-support systems, recruitment tools, and increasingly through generative AI used directly by employees.

While many organisations are experimenting with AI, far fewer have established clear governance frameworks that work in practice. Questions around legal compliance, ethical risks, acceptable use, and organisational accountability are becoming increasingly urgent.

This webinar brings together experts in AI governance, legal compliance, and AI adoption and organisational change to explore how organisations can responsibly integrate AI into the workplace while maintaining innovation and trust.

Through a moderated discussion, the panel will examine the real risks organisations face as AI becomes part of daily work and share practical governance approaches that scale beyond pilots.

Speakers

• Ra’ad Siraj – Trusted Data and AI Executive / Global Ecosystem Connector
• Sarah Matthews – Responsible AI Manager / Adecco
• Roy Kamp – Legal Director / UKG

The session will cover four key themes:

AI in the Workplace: What It Really Means Today

• How AI is being embedded across HR systems, decision-support tools, monitoring platforms, and generative AI assistants
• What fundamentally changes once AI becomes part of everyday workflows rather than isolated pilots
• The risks organisations begin to face at scale, including bias, surveillance, hallucinations, and employee over-reliance

Legal and Regulatory Realities

• Key regulatory touchpoints affecting workplace AI, including GDPR, labour law, and the EU AI Act
• What organisations often overlook when governing employee-facing AI
• Practical considerations when introducing AI into recruitment and hiring processes

Making AI Governance Work in Practice

• How organisations define acceptable vs prohibited uses of AI tools
• Practical approaches to training, awareness, and accountability for employees using AI
