In this Espresso Pod, we discuss what is, and what could be, coming down the track in the world of AI regulation and, in particular, the regulation of the use of AI in the workplace. For this episode, Tim Leaver (Partner) and Sian McKinley (Of Counsel) are joined by Dee Masters, AI & Discrimination barrister at Cloisters chambers, co-founder of the AI Law Consultancy, and recently awarded Employment Junior of the Year at the Legal 500 Bar Awards (2024).
