SHRM Engages Policymakers on AI in the Workplace
The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) has initiated discussions with federal and state policymakers regarding AI policy in the workplace. Led by SHRM's Chief Administrative Officer Emily M. Dickens, Chief Knowledge Officer Alex Alonso, and Vice President of Thought Leadership James Atkinson, the briefing emphasized the need for a balanced AI legislative framework. SHRM's approach advocates for clear rules on high-impact employment decisions, worker safeguards, and support for workforce readiness and reskilling. The organization aims to prevent a fragmented regulatory landscape that could confuse employers.
