Lawyers, accountants, HR professionals, and entrepreneurs are cautiously embracing AI to ensure their organizations are following the law.
Today, Gusto, a payroll and HR software platform for small businesses, rolled out a new AI “assistant” named “Gus” that promises to simplify compliance and save companies from crushing fines. Gus is powered by OpenAI’s API and allows users to ask questions such as: “How much overtime pay do I owe my employees who work in California?” Or, “What kind of paperwork do I need to complete to onboard my new employee in Texas?”
These sorts of questions might sound straightforward (or make you want to fall asleep), but figuring out how to follow local, state, and federal regulations typically has a high cost for businesses—as well as workers.
