From www.claytonutz.com: AI systems are increasingly being used in human resources for tasks such as recruitment and performance assessment, leading to discussions on their regulation due to potential inherent biases and legal risks.

Government inquiries, including recommendations for AI-specific legislation, emphasise the need for transparency, accountability, and human oversight in AI decision-making processes to ensure fairness and compliance with existing employment laws.

Employers are advised to proactively consult with workers and regularly assess AI systems for bias to mitigate risks associated with their implementation.
