Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing the nature of work across many industries, bringing incredible efficiencies—along with incredible risks. In fact, using AI in hiring has already led to one major lawsuit.

As organizations increasingly adopt AI-driven tools in their recruitment processes, they face new legal, security, and privacy challenges that, if not properly managed, could lead to serious consequences.
