Overview

Join us on Monday, September 28, 2026 from 12pm – 1pm for an expert discussion webinar of AI in hiring and the workplace. Alongside leading experts, FPF will present highlights from a recently released Updated Best Practices for AI and Workplace Assessment Technologies, developed with Dayforce, LinkedIn, UKG, and Workday.
The Updated Best Practices reflect the rapid rise of generative and agentic systems in the AI pipeline for hiring and employment. In contrast to predictive machine learning, today’s generative and agentic AI systems can summarize candidate information, conduct conversational interviews, and execute multi-step workflows with limited human intervention. These capabilities can benefit employers and job seekers, but they also introduce significant new risks that earlier guidance did not anticipate, such as hallucinations, reduced transparency and auditability, and the capacity to act directly on data and connected systems.
The legal and voluntary framework landscape has also grown more complex, with new laws and maturing standards (NIST, ISO/IEC 42001 and 42005, the EU AI Act, and emerging U.S. state frameworks) reshaping expectations for responsible development and deployment.
Building on existing commitments to responsible AI governance, non-discrimination, transparency, data security and privacy, and human oversight, the updated Best Practices introduces new protections for generative and agentic AI, and explores two foundational concepts: a map of the AI value chain, which distributes responsibility across foundation model providers, developers, deployers, and end users; and a novel risk assessment framework for assessing when a specific employment use of AI warrants heightened governance.
