Partner Sharon Perley Masling spoke with Law360 about new guidance from the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) involving artificial intelligence (AI)-based software used in the hiring process. Sharon said the guidance shows that issues tied to the use of automated decision-making tools are an enforcement priority for the agency.
"AI is not going away, and this guidance is a strong reminder that regulatory and enforcement agencies are focused on the civil rights implications of using AI in the workplace," Sharon said.
