AI in Learning, Skills Development & Compliance

What Every HR, L&D and Compliance Professional Needs to Know

South Africa’s draft National AI Policy was withdrawn in April 2026 after fictitious references were discovered in the document. If it can happen at government level, it can happen in your organisation.

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly becoming part of everyday workplace practices, yet many organisations have no formal AI policy, no responsible-use guidelines, and no training for employees on the risks associated with AI-generated content.

• Join René Deysel, National Skills Manager, for a practical and thought-provoking webinar that explores the opportunities AI presents, the risks it introduces, and the legal and compliance obligations organisations need to understand.
•  AI is already in their team’s work, but most organisations have no written policy and no responsible-use training.
• It protects them from a real risk: unverified AI output in WSP, ATR, EE or B-BBEE submissions.
• It separates evidence from hype. It uses the World Economic Forum figures and peer-reviewed studies, not vendor claims.
• It covers the South African law that already applies to AI, in plain language: Skills Development Act, Employment Equity Act, B-BBEE, Labour Relations Act and POPIA.
• It shows where AI helps learning and where it quietly harms it.
• It is practical, with four working examples they can pilot.
• It is interactive and not a talking-head session: live polls, a prediction vote, a green/amber/red vote on real scenarios, and a group exercise.
• They leave with a plan they can start the next day.

Why Attend?

This webinar moves beyond the hype surrounding AI and focuses on practical realities that impact organisations today. Attendees will gain a clear understanding of where AI can add value, where caution is required, and how to make informed decisions that support both compliance and effective learning outcomes. Through research-backed insights, real workplace examples and practical guidance, participants will leave equipped to introduce or strengthen responsible AI practices within their organisations while reducing compliance and governance risks.
