Montréal partner and member of Fasken’s Labour, Employment and Human Rights group, Marie‑Gabrielle Bélanger, comments on human resources trends for 2026 in an article published in La Presse (in French only).
The statements reported in La Presse come from a talk delivered during the “Priorités et défis RH (HR Priorities and Challenges)” event organized by the Ordre des conseillers en ressources humaines agréés (Order of Certified Human Resources Advisors).
Marie‑Gabrielle Bélanger analyzes the importance of the responsible use of AI in the workplace, particularly in hiring processes, highlighting the risks associated with data confidentiality.
“Sharing the confidential information of people applying for a position with an artificial intelligence tool—I would be very careful with that, unless we can ensure that the data is protected and remains internal,” explained Partner Marie‑Gabrielle Bélanger.
