@bakkenbabe1: The EEOC is actively targeting AI discrimination! They hold employers fully liable for civil rights violations by their software vendors. Under the Artificial Intelligence and Algorithmic Fairness Initiative, the agency is prosecuting companies using automated tools to target workers, especially for age and disability bias. This includes software that filters older applicants or penalizes those needing accommodations, like assessment tests monitoring keystroke speed or AI analyzing facial expressions that illegally flag individuals with impairments. They are also scrutinizing third-party talent platforms that automatically score or discard applicants based on historical corporate profiles, often mirroring past management biases. While there are processing backlogs (6-12 months for an investigator to be assigned), electronic logs provide unalterable digital proof for federal investigators once a case is opened. #eeoc #ai #workplacerights #employment #national
