Katie Tinnel to Present “HR’s Most Expensive Mistake: How to Keep AI from Costing You Money”
Katie Tinnel is presenting a virtual webinar titled “HR’s Most Expensive Mistake: How to Keep AI from Costing You Money” for HR professionals through Cleveland Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM).

- Whether reliance on AI in employment decisions can create legal risk
- How to ensure AI-assisted decisions comply with applicable legal standards
- Why saying “AI made the choice” is not a defense to potential liability
- How to protect confidential employee information when using AI tools
