Using software, algorithms, and AI in the employment selection process

These technologies are increasingly being used to help employers make decisions about hiring, promotion, and other employment-related decisions. The EEOC has guidelines in the form of Q&As on using technology in a way that isn’t discriminatory. While employers may routinely view their traditional decision-making procedures to be sure they don’t cause disproportionately large negative effects on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, they need to apply a similar review of technology tools used for employment-related decisions. #IdeaoftheDay
