Click here to listen to the latest episode of our “In Conversation…” podcast series for 2024, where Lucy Lewis is joined by fellow Lewis Silkin partners and co-heads of the Data, Privacy and Cyber Group, Alexander Milner-Smith and Bryony Long.
In this fascinating conversation, Alex and Bryony discuss a variety of emerging technologies, their use cases in the workplace and the potential legal and people-related risks that might arise. Some of these technologies are ones that many businesses are already exploring, such as the metaverse and ChatGPT. But Alex and Bryony also look ahead to evolving technologies such as neurotech, biometrics, empathic and semantic AI, and explore their potential impact on the workplace and what that might mean for workforce trust.
They also suggest some practical steps employers can take to make the most of these transformational technologies while also minimising the people and data risks. Lastly, Lucy talks to Alex and Bryony about how businesses can navigate an increasingly complex and evolving regulatory landscape, both in the UK and around the globe.
“It’s very very important that you are cognisant of how you deploy AI in the workplace and that you really get those employees on board and you get them involved and get them trained up on how to use the systems but you also give them the reassurances that these systems aren’t going to be replacing them.”
