Managing risks in the modern workplace (Part 2): AI Now Episode 2
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
AI Now is back with Part 2 on AI’s impact for the workforce, and this time we hear about the widespread use and risks of AI‑driven performance and monitoring tools, Australia’s first AI-specific workplace safety laws, and why governance - particularly at board level following the Star decision – is a live issue.
Employment law expert Cilla Robinson joins co-hosts Cheng Lim and Bryony Evans to talk about:
- When AI performance tools cross the line - including where ‘people are effectively being managed by an algorithm’ - and where they can add genuine value
- The three things boards should add to their next agenda
- Why it’s important to keep decision-making paper trails – and the tension between fast-moving technologists and lawyers
- What the new duty in NSW means and what to watch as SafeWork NSW guidance and consultation develops, including permit-holder right of entry to inspect these systems - as Cilla puts it, ‘your algorithm is now part of your work system in the same way as any other hazard that needs to be considered from a safety perspective’
- And more!
