Overview
AI Is Already Making Hiring, Firing, and Monitoring Decisions - Is Your Client Protected?
Employers are deploying AI tools at every stage of the employment lifecycle - screening résumés, monitoring productivity, managing performance, and even flagging employees for termination - often without any legal oversight. For employment attorneys, the gap between how fast clients are adopting these tools and how well they understand the liability exposure is a crisis waiting to happen.
This program cuts through the complexity and gives you what you actually need: a clear, practical framework for advising clients on AI-related employment risk right now. You'll walk away with a command of the current regulatory patchwork, ready-to-use policy guidance, and the confidence to counsel clients before an EEOC charge or wrongful termination lawsuit forces the conversation. Register today!
- Understand how AI hiring tools create Title VII and ADA disparate impact exposure - and how to protect clients who use them.
- Navigate the growing state law patchwork on AI employment practices before it catches your clients off guard.
- Identify when AI-driven workplace monitoring crosses into NLRA protected activity territory.
- Recognize the trade secret and confidentiality risks that arise when employees use AI tools on the job.
- Draft enforceable AI workplace policies that hold up under regulatory scrutiny.

Speakers
Speaker bio
Michael Whitbread
is of counsel at Littler Mendelson P.C. He is an international employment and data privacy lawyer whose work sits at the intersection of employment and labor law, emerging technology, and regulatory design. He advises multinational employers on complex cross-border issues, with a particular focus on the use of artificial intelligence in the workplace and evolving legal frameworks governing automated decision-making. He has extensive experience navigating and shaping compliance strategies across divergent legal regimes. He regularly advises on cutting-edge laws and proposals, including New York City's AEDT Law (Local Law 144), the California FEHA automated decision-making amendments and CPPA regulations, CCPA/CPRA, Illinois Human Rights Act AI amendments, and the Colorado AI Act. His work often involves designing governance frameworks that operate coherently across jurisdictions with fundamentally different approaches to privacy, equality, and labor regulation. He is particularly experienced in advising organizations during periods of regulatory transition, where legal frameworks are unsettled and practical "playbooks" do not yet exist. His experience spans the implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation, the early application of the EU AI Act, emerging 'digital workplace' health and safety laws, and forthcoming reforms to the Australian Privacy Act. He brings a strong interest in how legal systems adapt to technological change, particularly in balancing the values of innovation, fairness, and individual protection. He has held senior in-house roles with global responsibility. He most recently served as deputy to the general counsel of an AI-driven resume parsing and document comparison company headquartered in Australia. He previously held positions as global director of data protection, group data protection officer, and in-house employment law counsel at a FTSE 250 institutional and private client services group, with responsibility across nearly 20 jurisdictions. Earlier, he served as regional head of data protection and employment law at an international bank, and practiced as a privacy and employment lawyer at an offshore 'Magic Circle' firm. Before relocating to the United States, he served as chair of the Employment and Discrimination Tribunal in a British offshore jurisdiction during a period of significant legislative reform. He has substantial experience leading complex workplace investigations and advising on sensitive employee relations matters, including prior roles within a Magic Circle law firm in London and a major insurance company in Sydney. He is a regular speaker on AI governance, workplace technology, and the future of work. His broader interests focus on the development of legal frameworks that support fair, efficient and effective labor markets in rapidly changing technological and economic environments. He earned his B.A and LL.B degrees from University of Newcastle, and his M.A. degree from University of Sydney.
