Lawyers send warning to people who use ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude at work in South Africa

A group of South African lawyers has issued a warning to employees using popular AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini at work, cautioning that these tools can pose complex legal challenges, particularly in decision-making that may impact employment or performance. The regulation of AI in the employment context falls under existing legislation, but employers must take measures to ensure data subjects are informed about automated processing and have the opportunity to challenge decisions.
