Overview
This training will provide an overview of the risks associated with using artificial intelligence and automated systems to make hiring and firing decisions as well as steps you can take now to reduce your legal exposure.
Why you should Attend
Many employers regularly use artificial intelligence and automated systems to make employment decisions such as hiring and firing. Some of these tools include resume scanners, chatbots, and video interviews. However, many of these tools have the potential to create unlawful bias. The EEOC has created an initiative, "Navigating Employment Discrimination in AI & Automated systems: A New Civil Rights Frontier," to evaluate whether these tools comply with federal and civil rights laws. This training will help you understand how the systems you are using may be violating State and Federal laws.
