Any company that uses Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) or other emerging technologies to make employment decisions must understand a quickly-shifting legal landscape, including federal, state, and even local laws implicated by AI.


Due to the quick adoption of AI by employers, this issue is the focus of several government agencies. In October 2021, The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) announced a new initiative to clarify how the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and other emerging technologies fits in with federal discrimination law. In May, the EEOC issued its most comprehensive guidance yet, addressing how using AI may implicate the Americans with Disabilities Act.


States and localities have also taken action to regulate AI use. In December 2021, New York City announced that effective January 1, 2023, new requirements for the use of artificial intelligence in employment decisions will take effect in the City. Also, the state of Illinois enacted a law that must be taken into consideration when using AI with workers in that state.

In this 50-minute webinar, two employment lawyers with Eckert Seamans share recent state and federal regulations for using AI in hiring. 

What you'll learn

  • An overview of the current state of the law, including the EEOC’s guidance and state/local laws that regulate the use of AI in employment.
  • Explore how companies can successfully use AI technology from a functional perspective to recruit a more diverse workforce.
  • How a tool designed to solve bias in hiring can sometimes inadvertently cause discrimination.
  • Best practices for using AI without violating federal law, recently issued by the EEOC.

This webinar is applicable to people who hire or support hiring for their organizations or for their clients.
