Artificial intelligence ranked as the top issue that’s expected to impact workplace policy changes over the next 12 months, even more so than diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and immigration enforcement matters, according to findings from law firm Littler’s 14th Annual Employer Survey.
According to the survey of 300 C-suite executives, in-house counsel, and human resources (HR) professionals, 84 percent of respondents cited AI as the top workplace trend that they expect will lead to workplace policy or regulatory changes over the next 12 months, which is double the number of respondents who answered the same in Littler’s 2025 employer survey results.
