Episode description
In this episode of OK at Work, attorneys Sarah Sawyer and Russell Burger of Offit Kurman discuss how employers should respond to employees using AI at work. They recommend adopting a standalone generative AI policy that sets guardrails on permitted software, confidential information, and acceptable and prohibited uses. Sarah and Russell also stress reducing legal risks such as bias and discrimination, guiding employees away from unofficial sources, and using approved platforms with controls for sensitive areas like management and recruiting.
