Description
Remote employees' use of AI tools exposes employers to overlapping liability across data protection, employment, and cybersecurity regimes, with those lacking adequate policies risking vicarious liability for breaches, trade secret disclosures, and regulatory action. This topic covers the key legal frameworks and practical tools employers need to manage these risks, from data processing agreements and cross-border governance to disciplinary frameworks and AI-related incident investigations.
