Eric Tate spoke with HR.com about the legal and compliance challenges facing chief learning officers (CLOs) as organizations accelerate the adoption of AI-driven learning platforms. He emphasized that “a one-size-fits-all approach is likely to be non-compliant somewhere,” highlighting the need for CLOs to balance global consistency with local legal requirements. Eric discussed risks related to data privacy, employee monitoring, and the importance of consulting with works councils in certain jurisdictions. He also advised CLOs to negotiate robust contractual protections when procuring AI-enabled learning tools, including indemnities for bias and clear data security obligations.
