Is your new AI recruiting tool a productivity booster or a class-action lawsuit waiting to happen?

Welcome to the kickoff of our February series: AI Without the Hype. In this episode, we strip away the marketing buzzwords to confront the uncomfortable reality of Artificial Intelligence in the workplace. We aren't talking about sci-fi scenarios; we are talking about the decisions being made right now that affect real people and company culture.

Join us as we dive deep into the ethical minefield of modern HR tech, exploring how algorithms can inadvertently discriminate against older workers and caregivers through "proxy variables" and why the rise of productivity monitoring tools might be destroying your team's trust.

In this episode, we cover:

• The "Bias In, Bias Out" Reality: How historical data corrupts future hiring decisions.
• Proxy Variables: Why filtering by "graduation year" or "employment gaps" is the new discrimination.
• The Surveillance Trap: The fine line between analyzing productivity and policing employee sentiment.
• The Regulatory Landscape: What you need to know about NYC Local Law 144 and the EU AI Act.
• The Human-in-the-Loop: Why "the computer said so" is never a valid legal defense.

It’s time for HR to step up as the moral compass of the digital age. Tune in to learn how to optimize for efficiency without optimizing away your humanity.
