As AI vendors face discrimination claims, HR departments are spending extensive time manually validating outputs from applicant tracking systems and performance management software. This shift mandates that professionals understand the legal and operational tax associated with deploying automated HR technology, focusing intensely on platform accuracy and compliance post-implementation.

Data from Workday suggests that the integration of artificial intelligence in HR tasks introduces a significant hidden cost, as employees, particularly those in HR functions, must dedicate substantial time correcting AI-generated outputs.
A newly released category guide addresses the fragmentation of compliance requirements within HR technology stacks and features input from the Department of Labor's chief innovation officer.
