In a recent Rochester Business Journal article, Harter Secrest & Emery partner Benjamin E. Mudrick highlights the legal and practical challenges employers face as they increasingly incorporate AI into hiring and personnel decisions. Mudrick emphasizes that while AI can promote consistency, it may overlook the nuanced, individualized considerations required in workplace decision-making and risk reinforcing existing biases. He also underscores that AI-assisted decisions are subject to the same legal scrutiny as traditional employment actions, pointing to evolving regulations and growing concerns around privacy, confidentiality, and data usage. Drawing on his leadership in the firm’s Labor & Employment practice, Mudrick advises employers to approach AI adoption thoughtfully, ensuring appropriate oversight and compliance as the technology continues to evolve.
