Analyzing critical legal trends and developments across data, cyber, AI and digital regulations from around the world and beyond borders

On 2 February 2025, the first deadlines under the EU AI Act took effect, introducing AI literacy provisions and a ban on prohibited AI systems. These changes significantly impact employers within the scope of the Act.

Baker McKenzie is pleased to invite you to our upcoming webinar where our multijurisdictional panel will share their insights on how the new legislation reshapes the existing legal landscape. They will provide practical tips and examples progressing from an overview of the key provisions of the Act for employers before taking a deeper dive into some more complex areas and finishing with a practical case study. Some of the areas covered include:

  • Applicability of the AI Act: exploring the scope of the new legislation including identifying prohibited and high risk AI practices in the HR sphere.
  • Key obligations of employers including addressing the requirements already in place, managing liability risks in AI-driven processes at the intersection of AI and the GDPR and anticipating the required standards of human oversight where this applies.
  • Employee representative involvement including the varying works council information, consultation and, in some cases, co determination rights across EU jurisdictions.

Our live, one-hour webinar will be held via Zoom on Tuesday, 27 May at 15:00 BST / 16:00 CET / 07:00 PST.
