The Uncertainty of show for January 2025 will be on Safety in Law Enforcement.

Instead of a live session, it’s a podcast that Gary Wong recently recorded with Nancy Hess.

Nancy and Gary are joined by Lou Hayes to talk about his law enforcement experiences in Metro Chicago and the uncertainties that police officers face in their line of duty.

What parallels are there between enforcing criminal and civilian laws that define public safety and dealing with safety laws, regulations, standards that define worker safety?

Do workers understand what situations safety rules must not be broken?

Do they understand when rules may be bent because they sense danger may emerge if they don’t adapt?

Presented by Rachel L. Conn, Andrea O. Chavez, Ashley D. Mitchell, Darius Rohani-Shukla, and Samuel S. Rose

The latest phenomenon in artificial intelligence (“AI”), generative AI such as ChatGPT, has changed the world as we know it. While some fear AI will replace workers and others praise its efficiency and productivity, there is no doubt that AI could be the largest technological advancement since the invention of the computer.

Now, companies are starting to wrestle with how to handle the use of AI in the workplace. In fact, it is possible that your company is already using AI in ways that you might not have considered or be aware of. For Human Resources, generative AI can produce strong benefits including helping to create job descriptions, draft model interview questions, or assist managers in preparing performance evaluations. But with every benefit, there comes risk and limitations, including discrimination, confidentiality, and reliability concerns.

Participants in this webinar will learn about:

Protecting confidential and trade secret information

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s (“EEOC’s”) Artificial Intelligence and Algorithmic Fairness Initiative

State and local laws regulating the use of AI

Best practices on the use of AI in the workplace
