AI in the workplace: Managing risk in a new litigation landscape

July 16, 2026

As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more embedded across the employment lifecycle, the way organizations deploy these tools in hiring, performance management, and workforce analytics is drawing increased scrutiny. Regulators, employees, and plaintiffs are increasingly focused on whether AI-enabled processes are transparent, defensible, and compliant with existing employment laws. Global requirements, including works council consultation obligations, are also becoming more central as organizations prepare for and respond to potential disputes.

Join DLA Piper for a discussion examining how these developments are translating into litigation risk, including recent cases challenging AI assisted decision-making and expanding theories of liability for both employers and vendors. The program will highlight practical considerations to help organizations navigate risk and enhance litigation readiness as AI becomes further embedded in workplace decision-making.
