Illinois’ New AI Law Explained: A Compliance Roadmap for Employers

Illinois will step into the future of workplace regulation with a groundbreaking new law amending the Illinois Human Rights Act. Effective January 1, 2026, the legislation introduces significant new requirements for employers that use artificial intelligence in hiring and employment decisions. 

In this webinar, Fisher Phillips Partners Dave Walton, Co-Chair of the AI Practice Group, and Danielle Kays will unpack what the law means in practice, highlight key compliance challenges, and share practical steps employers can take now to get ready. 

Join us for an indispensable program designed to help you navigate Illinois’ fast-changing AI landscape and confidently integrate emerging technologies while staying on the right side of the law.
