Partner at Fisher Phillips and co-chair of the firm's Artificial Intelligence Team; testified to Congress on workplace AI in 2026.
For major employment decisions like hiring, firing, promotions, and pay, many companies require a human to review AI’s recommendation. This creates accountability. It also catches errors before they hurt workers.
