Course Overview

Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming recruiting and HR operations, but its adoption brings serious ethical, legal, and compliance responsibilities. This course provides HR professionals, recruiters, and people operations teams with a structured understanding of how to use AI in hiring responsibly, in full alignment with U.S. legal standards and emerging governance frameworks.
