The Work Couch: AI (Part 2): Privacy, bias, and discrimination

Welcome to The Work Couch, the podcast series where we explore how your business can navigate today's tricky people challenges and respond to key developments in the ever-evolving world of employment law.

Welcome to The Work Couch, the podcast where we discuss all things employment. To mark London Tech Week 2024 running from 10 -14 June, we are devoting a three-part mini-series to the topic of AI and how it interacts with, and affects, employment law and the world of work.

In part two, host Ellie Gelder is joined by two leading experts on AI and the world of work: Jake Wall, policy manager for skills and future of Work at techUK, and Patrick Brodie, partner and head of RPC's employment, engagement and equality team. Jake and Patrick share their insights on the interplay between AI and employment law, including:

• Background and purpose of the TUC's AI Bill;
• Impact of AI on jobs and skills and the importance of AI competence in the legal sector;
• AI ethics policies and impact assessments;
• Bias and discrimination risks in recruitment;
• Opportunities for AI to remove human biases; and
• Potential legal challenges in relation to employee rights and AI.
