Employee Equity - Create and ensure equal opportunity for all aspects of the employment life cycle.

Artificial Intelligence and Algorithmic Fairness - In FY 2021, the EEOC issued an agency-wide initiative to ensure that the use of software, including artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and other emerging technologies used in hiring and other employment decisions comply with the federal civil rights laws that the EEOC enforces. It is abundantly clear that while AI systems may offer new opportunities for employers, they also have the potential to discriminate.
