The Impact of AI on Collective and Individual Employment Relations (Webinar delivered in English)

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future scenario: it has become a measurable economic and social reality in the workplace. Generative AI tools are spreading fast, often adopted by employees before any internal framework exists. As a result, employers face new legal questions on two fronts. Collectively, AI has become a new subject for social dialogue and collective bargaining. Individually, it empowers employees while putting their fundamental rights to the test.

This English-language webinar, hosted by Sixtine Gossellin, Of Counsel at Factorhy Avocats, takes a practical look at these developments. It draws on the first French court rulings on works council consultation. It also covers the first company-level agreements dedicated to AI and the entry into force of the EU AI Act. Key topics include:

• when an AI rollout or pilot phase requires works council consultation;
• managing "shadow AI" and drafting an effective AI use policy;
• the impact of AI on the employment contract and on dismissals;
• employee monitoring, automated decision-making and non-discrimination;
• health and safety obligations and the new government plan "Impulsion IA 2027".

Designed for HR directors, in-house counsel and business leaders, the session offers a clear roadmap for deploying AI securely: scoping projects, sequencing information and consultation, negotiating with employee representatives and putting the right governance in place. Participants will come away with concrete best practices to turn technological change into shared progress, while managing legal risk.
