Third Thursday: Risks and Benefits of Artificial Intelligence and Big Data in Recruiting, Hiring, and Employment

Please join us for the next edition of Third Thursday – Crowell & Moring’s Labor and Employment Update, a webinar series dedicated to helping our clients stay on top of developing law and emerging compliance issues.


Employers are increasingly seeking to leverage technology that will allow them to access broader and deeper talent pools, aggregate and assess data about applicants and employees from various sources, and make better hiring and retention decisions.  While artificial intelligence and predictive analytics can provide employers many benefits, use of data analytics can pose new legal risks for employers, including risks of discrimination claims for disparate treatment and disparate impact.  
During this webinar, we will discuss examples of the emerging uses of big data in the workplace.  We will focus on the technologies employers are using in their recruiting and employment practices, and the benefits those technologies provide.  We will also address the various risks that this technology poses, address best practices to mitigate these risks, and highlight existing litigations that are challenging some of the uses of big data by employers.

The Artificial Intelligence Agenda from Capitol Hill to State Capitals: Where We Are and Where We Are (Probably) Going

The landscape of AI governance and regulation is shifting. Following the release of the White House’s “America’s AI Action Plan” in July 2025 and the President’s signing of related Executive Orders, the White House has emphasized (at least rhetorically) a preference for innovation, adoption, and deregulation. But that does not tell the entire story. The Administration remains committed to exercising a heavy hand in AI, including by banning the U.S. government’s procurement of so-called “woke AI,” intervening in the development of data centers and the export of the AI technology stack, imposing an export fee for certain semiconductors to China, and assuming a stake in a U.S. semiconductor company. State legislatures are also racing to implement their own regulations, particularly around AI’s use in critical areas, such as healthcare, labor and employment, and data privacy. The many sources of regulation raise the specter of a fragmented compliance environment for businesses. This webinar will delve into the Administration’s AI strategy, going beyond the headlines to analyze:...
