AI is the current “it” thing, but are you prepared for what might happen if you don’t take steps to manage your employees’ use of it effectively? Join in on the discussion on how to best utilize AI and how to best protect your business. While the majority of the discussion will focus on AI in relation to human resources and your employees, you’ll also leave with an understanding of the current trends attorneys and business owners are keeping an eye on. Everyone attending will receive an AI policy template that they can customize for their businesses.
