Stephen is also right to point out that the industry really hasn’t figured out how to make this work. Clients increasingly want firms to use AI to reduce billable hours; lawyers don’t want to use technology that makes it harder to meet their billable-hour requirements.
This sounds like an impasse. One that will require some innovative thinking and partnership between firms and clients.
If your data gets breached, how many people will you have to notify? Not just the transcript of what they said, but the recording of them- the audio of their voice, etc. has been breached as well. We don’t often talk about the risk that creates, but it does. Deepfake audio and video tools don’t require much existing video or audio of someone to generate convincing fakes. How much liability do you have for content you lost in a breach if it’s used that way?
This should, but won’t, end the discussion about the safety of age verification laws. What privacy advocates warned would happen as we continued to force everyone to verify their identity online has happened, and 153 million people worldwide have had their data breached. That’s a nightmare. A nightmare many of us saw coming.
Has any single online age-verification law been pulled back since this news came out? I haven’t seen any announcements about that, if it happened.
I feel like we knew this, and that the entire thing was just performative, not based on any kind of data: “Large corporations appear to have folded under pressure for no financial gain,” a public policy scholar wrote. https://www.hrdive.com/news/companies-dei-roll-back-dei-performance-uc-berkeley/828590/ Some people have been screaming from the rafters for years that diversity programs meant hiring unqualified…
The human body and brain work best when rest and recovery are part of the schedule. It really is that simple. When we constantly try to “earn” the right to rest, we do a disservice to ourselves. It is part of us.
The post above points out that it’s not as simple as communicating more; it’s also about communicating better and making it clear where the employee is empowered to make the decision for themself and where they are not. That’s the tricky part. Many of your folks may not feel empowered because you never made it clear that they were, so they don’t make decisions that they should on their own, while others feel empowered beyond what they are and make decisions they shouldn’t. That simply means the lines have not been clearly communicated, and that’s a problem that won’t fix itself.
