"Treading the AI Tightrope: Balancing Use, Governance, Privacy, Privilege," 2026 National Bar Association Labor & Employment Section Annual Conference

Date   Oct 15, 2026

Join FordHarrison partner Shawndra Jones at the 2026 National Bar Association Labor & Employment Section Conference in Atlanta, Georgia. During the conference, Shawndra will co-present "Treading the AI Tightrope: Balancing Use, Governance, Privacy, Privilege, and Ethics in the Modern Workplace" at 11:00 AM ET on October 15.

As organizations and their employees increasingly adopt artificial intelligence, employers and attorneys must navigate a rapidly evolving landscape of legal risk. While employee and candidate privacy remain important considerations, organizations must also address emerging regulation of AI in hiring and workforce management, enterprise AI governance, and other risks associated with workplace use of generative AI tools. This panel explores practical strategies for balancing innovation with compliance, including managing confidentiality, privilege, work product protections, and privacy obligations. Panelists will also discuss recent legal developments, ethics guidance, and litigation trends shaping the responsible use of AI in the workplace and the practice of law.

The National Bar Association Labor & Employment Section Conference is the premier forum where workplace law and real-world practice intersect. Bringing together law firm attorneys, in-house counsel, government practitioners, and plaintiff-side and defense-side lawyers, the conference creates a unique environment to examine the most pressing challenges in labor and employment law from every perspective.
