Employers are increasingly deploying AI tools to streamline key HR functions, from resume screening to performance
management and other workforce functions. In 2026, these tools are no longer experimental; some companies are
embedding them in core HR functions. At the same time, lawmakers, regulators, and plaintiffs’ attorneys are rapidly
escalating scrutiny of employers’ use of AI, looking for ways to regulate and pursue claims related to the tools. With the
growing patchwork of AI laws and risks, employers need to understand how best to navigate the emerging compliance
challenges and legal risks when using AI tools in their workforce.
