The World of Work: When things go wrong with AI
The World of Work: When things go wrong with AI | As artificial intelligence continues to reshape the workplace, the legal and workforce implications are becoming harder to ignore. In the latest World of Work podcast, Labour, Employment & Human Rights Partner Venolan Naidoo (https://www.fasken.com/en/venolan-naidoo) explores what happens when AI goes wrong at work, unpacking key considerations around discipline, data, and defensibility. In this episode, Venolan addresses critical questions: (1) Are there gaps in how organisations are managing workforce risk in relation to AI? (2) Have these risks been properly identified? (3) And where are organisations potentially exposed from an employment or data protection perspective?
The takeaway is clear: AI literacy is no longer just an educational priority; it is a diagnosable legal risk. Organisations need to move beyond awareness and begin implementing structured AI risk management frameworks. AI will not wait for organisations to catch up. The real choice is whether to respond proactively with readiness, or reactively manage the fallout.
Tune in to gain practical insights on navigating AI in the workplace, and why a proactive approach remains the only viable path forward.
