As AI becomes increasingly common in the workplace, it’s also finding its way into grievances, employment claims and workplace disputes.

From AI-generated legal arguments and inaccurate information to HR teams’ own use of AI, there are important questions about how this content should be handled and the implications for employment law, data protection and disclosure.

In this practical session, we’ll explore what HR teams need to know, the potential pitfalls to look out for, and how to respond when AI becomes part of a workplace dispute.

Employees are increasingly using AI tools like ChatGPT to draft grievances, challenge redundancy decisions, and build arguments for employment claims.

At the same time, HR teams are using AI to review information, summarise documents and support increasingly complex cases, often involving sensitive employee data. Both uses can create legal and data protection risks, but the consideration differ. 

In this session, experts from WorkNest will discuss the key challenges and help HR teams understand how to handle AI-generated content with confidence, while protecting employee information and maintaining a fair process.

In this session you'll learn:

  • How AI is changing the volume and complexity of grievances, claims, and redundancy challenges.
  • How to respond to AI-generated arguments and false legal citations, while avoiding discrimination risks.
  • Where HR's own use of AI can create exposure, including potential disclosure obligations if a case reaches an employment tribunal.
  • The data protection risks associated with employees using AI to build a case and HR teams using it to manage cases.
  • What checks and safeguards HR teams should consider putting in place.
