Overview
Artificial intelligence is increasingly being used in HR investigations—to analyze data, summarize interviews, identify patterns, and support decision-making. While AI can enhance efficiency and consistency, it also introduces new legal, ethical, and compliance risks that organizations must carefully manage.
