What HR Leaders Need to Know About AI Risk
AI risk often stems from efficiency, not bad intent. Employees may unknowingly expose sensitive data by using tools like ChatGPT.
Employment attorney Tara Humma emphasizes that intent doesn’t matter, compliance does. Data privacy and discrimination laws still apply.
That’s why AI governance must be a compliance priority. HR leaders should set clear guidelines on what can’t be shared and ensure employees understand them in their day-to-day work.
With regulations evolving, the message is simple: proactive policies, training, and oversight are key to reducing risk.
