As companies rush to implement AI and automated decision-making tools, they may be walking into a legal minefield. On this episode of Today in Tech, host Keith Shaw speaks with attorney Rob Taylor from Carstens, Allen & Gourley about the growing legal risks tied to agentic AI, automated hiring, and the rise of ADM (automated decision-making) regulations.
Rob breaks down:
* Why AI tools used in hiring and insurance may trigger liability
* How companies are getting ADM compliance wrong
* What laws already apply even without new AI regulations
* Real-world examples like credit scoring, job screening, and sentiment analysis
* Why disclosure, explainability, and data retention are essential
* Who’s liable: the company or the AI developer?
