AI in HR - Session 3
Leading AI Governance with Confidence
Presented by
Ashley Johnson
Principal HR Business Partner

As AI plays a bigger role in employment decisions, clear governance becomes a leadership advantage, not just a compliance checkbox. This session walks through the legal landscape shaping AI in HR today, including real cases and emerging regulations, so you can get ahead of the curve instead of reacting to it. You'll leave with the Human Judgment Test, a five-question rubric that gives you a clear, confident process for deciding when and how AI should support your people decisions.
