AI in the Workplace: How State Laws Impact Employers

Overview


As organizations increasingly integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into human resources and workplace management processes, regulators are moving quickly to keep up. Nearly a dozen states are enacting or considering laws that govern how employers can use AI in hiring and other practices, with growing attention to both employment and privacy implications. To stay compliant and ahead of the curve, employers must proactively navigate this expanding patchwork of state AI regulations.

Join members of McDermott’s Employment Group and Privacy & Cybersecurity Group for a timely webinar examining how these developments could impact your organization’s use of AI. Learn about the latest updates, understand the risks, and gain practical strategies to help you stay compliant while leveraging AI’s benefits.

Discussion topics will include:

  • The current state AI law landscape – including key developments in states like California, Colorado, and Texas – and how California’s Senate Bill 7 (“No Robo Bosses Act”) and Civil Rights Department guidance is shaping employer obligations
  • What the removal of the 10-year moratorium from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act signals for future AI regulation
  • Privacy considerations when deploying AI technology in the workplace, including data collection, transparency, and consent
  • Risk mitigation strategies for employers using AI
  • Best practices to ensure compliance with evolving laws
