AI, Automation & Labour Law

AI can improve fairness, consistency, and efficiency — but only if employers use it legally and transparently.

Our labour law expert, Angus Bailie, will unpack the real‑world risks and responsibilities employers face when AI enters the workplace — and how to stay compliant.

What you’ll learn:

• AI in HR & Management – How AI is already influencing recruitment, performance scoring, monitoring, and decision‑making.
• Legal Risks & Grey Areas – Bias, transparency, POPIA, unfair labour practices, and procedural fairness.
• Privacy & Monitoring – What’s legal, what’s not, and how to avoid crossing the line with email scanning, WhatsApp monitoring, and digital surveillance.
• AI in Disciplinary Processes – Why AI‑generated evidence is risky — and how to use it responsibly.
• Contracts & Policies That Must Be Updated – AI‑use clauses, monitoring clauses, POPIA alignment, and algorithmic transparency.

Plus: Three Real South African Case Studies

Angus will break down:

• A recruitment algorithm that discriminated
• An AI tool that misclassified poor performance
• A monitoring system that breached POPIA

Each case shows exactly where employers get caught — and how to prevent it.

Who should attend

• Business owners
• HR managers
• Team leaders
• Operations managers
• Anyone responsible for people, performance, or compliance

This webinar gives you the clarity, tools, and confidence to adopt AI safely without exposing your organisation to avoidable disputes.
