Alex Farone to Be a Presenter for the PA Chamber of Business and Industry’s 2026 Human Resources Conference

On Thursday, March 5, 2026, business leaders from across the Commonwealth will gather for the PA Chamber of Business and Industry’s 2026 Human Resources Conference to tackle one of today’s most pressing employer challenges: how to operationalize AI responsibly, effectively, and with confidence.

Babst Calland Employment and Labor Attorney Alex Farone will join Denise Turley, Vice President of Corporate Systems at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, to present “Operationalizing AI in the Workplace”.  As artificial intelligence becomes a day-to-day workplace tool, HR leaders play a critical role in guiding how it is used responsibly, effectively, and in compliance with evolving laws and expectations. This presentation will explore how organizations can move beyond theory to develop clear AI policies, governance frameworks, and workforce guidance that empower employees to leverage AI while managing risk.
