About AI Governance for HR
AI Governance for HR — practical systems for decisions about people.
From the author of When AI Breaks the Law.
AI is already making (or shaping) decisions across the talent cycle—who gets interviewed, promoted, coached, flagged, rewarded, or managed out. And most HR teams are being handed tools without a governance system.
This publication exists for one purpose: to help HR and talent leaders build practical AI governance for decisions about people—so those decisions are explainable, defensible, and safe to scale.
What you’ll find here
This is not generic “AI ethics” commentary. It’s a working field guide for HR leaders who need governance that actually holds up in the real world.
You’ll get:
Governance playbooks for AI across hiring, performance, promotion, internal mobility, learning, and workforce planning
Templates and decision tools (intake forms, decision rights, accountability maps, documentation checklists)
Case breakdowns and what they mean for HR risk, compliance, and talent outcomes
Practical guidance to reduce AI discrimination risk and strengthen trust with employees and leaders
A consistent focus on how systems “know what they know” about people—not just whether an output looks fair
The weekly anchor: Build Governance Live
Every Wednesday at 3 pm ET, we build one governance artifact live—then translate it into a repeatable “governance move” you can use immediately. Paid members get live access, replays, and the artifact library.
How this connects to the book
My book, When AI Breaks the Law, is the foundation of this work. The Substack is where the system stays current, becomes actionable, and gets built in public—one governance move at a time.
How this connects to Inclusion Learning Lab
This publication is part of the Inclusion Learning Lab ecosystem—where HR leaders go to move from insight to implementation through practical learning, tools, and programs. The goal is simple: reduce talent risk, strengthen workforce readiness, and help HR lead AI disruption without losing people in the process.
Who this is for
CHROs, HR VPs, and talent leaders responsible for talent risk
HR Ops, People Analytics, and HR technology teams implementing AI-enabled tools
Talent acquisition and L&D leaders navigating AI adoption and governance
HR business partners who need language, structure, and documentation that holds up
