Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming how HR teams recruit, manage performance, and engage employees. But as AI adoption accelerates, so do the legal, regulatory, and compliance risks associated with its use in employment decisions. HR professionals are now expected to understand not only what AI can do, but also how to use it responsibly, transparently, and in compliance with evolving employment and privacy laws.
To help organizations navigate this complexity, LMS Portals is pleased to announce the availability of a new compliance-focused training course: Using AI in HR Without Creating Legal Risk.
This course is designed specifically for HR leaders, HR teams, compliance professionals, and managers who are responsible for AI-supported HR decisions and want a clear, practical framework for reducing legal exposure.
Why AI in HR Creates New Compliance Challenges
AI tools are increasingly used across the employee lifecycle, from resume screening and candidate assessments to performance management, workforce analytics, and employee engagement. While these tools can improve efficiency and consistency, they also introduce significant risks, including:
Bias and adverse impact, even without discriminatory intent
Limited transparency in AI-supported decisions
Data privacy and employee data protection concerns
Regulatory exposure at the federal, state, local, and global levels
Overreliance on vendors without sufficient oversight
Employment laws, anti-discrimination regulations, and data privacy requirements still apply when AI is involved. In most cases, legal responsibility remains with the employer, not the technology provider. HR teams must be prepared to explain, document, and defend how AI tools are used.
About the Course: Using AI in HR Without Creating Legal Risk
This comprehensive course provides HR professionals with a practical, legally grounded understanding of how to integrate AI into HR processes while maintaining compliance and human oversight.
Key topics covered include:
What AI can and cannot do in HR decision-making
Bias, discrimination, and adverse impact risks in AI tools
Transparency, explainability, and documentation requirements
Data privacy obligations when AI processes employee and applicant data
AI use in recruiting, hiring, performance management, and promotion decisions
Vendor due diligence and shared accountability
Internal AI governance, policies, and oversight frameworks
Monitoring global, state, and local AI regulations
The course emphasizes realistic use cases, clear accountability, and defensible practices rather than hype or technical theory. It is suitable for both awareness training and formal compliance programs.
Delivered on the LMS Portals Multi-Tenant LMS Platform
The course is delivered through the LMS Portals multi-tenant learning management system, purpose-built for organizations that manage training across multiple audiences, departments, clients, or partners.

Multi-tenant architecture to support separate portals for business units, clients, or regions
