Artificial intelligence is developing fast and is increasingly incorporated in HR tools used for, amongst other things, recruiting and performance management.

- Discrimination issues when ‘machines’ or algorithms’ make decisions.

- Do employee representative bodies need to be informed and consulted when introducing AI in the workplace?
- Can a robot give instructions to employees?
- Ethics in AI.
