The development of UK Artificial Intelligence law is at a crossroads. The EU's AI Act, approved on 21 May 2024, will affect UK-based companies if their AI systems are sold or used within the EU.

The people profession is operating in a "VUCA world on steroids" (VUCA = volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity). So said CEO Peter Cheese as he welcomed around 1,300 delegates to the 2023 CIPD conference in Manchester.
ChatGPT and other chatbots have captured the attention of HR leaders everywhere. Though powerful, these tools pose new problems HR should not ignore. Natasha K.A. Wiebusch reviews four key problems with chatbots - and suggests ways to deal with them.
