EEOC AI-in-employment guidance (United States)

The US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's framework applying federal anti-discrimination law to employer use of software, algorithms, and AI in hiring and employment decisions. It comprises the Artificial Intelligence and Algorithmic Fairness Initiative (launched October 2021); guidance applying the Americans with Disabilities Act to AI assessment tools (May 2022); and a technical-assistance document on assessing adverse/disparate impact under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act when AI is used in selection procedures (May 2023). The underlying ADA and Title VII statutes apply durably to AI-based employment tools; the specific EEOC technical-assistance documents have been subject to administration-dependent revision since 2025, so this entity's status events should be refined as that picture settles.

Jurisdiction: United States · Effective 2021-10-28
