Speaking before a crowd of human resource executives, DivinaLaw Senior Partner Atty. Ian Jerny E. De Leon discussed the legal and ethical challenges of AI integration in the workplace.
“The most significant and controversial impact of AI on employees is the displacement of jobs and skills,” noted Atty. De Leon. “While some studies say that AI will generate new categories of jobs, in the near future, it is inevitable that AI could lead to significant job losses. To the extent that AI and automation will lead to job losses, it is incumbent upon the employer, through HR, to ensure compliance with due process, both substantive and procedural.”
Atty. De Leon was among the esteemed panel of speakers during this year’s “CHRO Agenda” organized by Viventis Search Asia. Speakers included executives from G-Xchange Inc., Security Bank, Cornerstone OnDemand, and Gokongwei Group.
Atty. De Leon is the deputy head of DivinaLaw’s labor and employment practice group and is also one of the Firm’s data privacy experts.
Viventis Search Asia is a leading human capital solutions provider in the Philippines.
