Algorithmic Discrimination

Algorithmic discrimination is when discriminatory outcomes are caused by software algorithms and/or AI, rather than the direct input or intent of a human being. This panel will analyze the current state of the law, its application to employment discrimination cases, and potential legislation.

Webinar will be conducted over Zoom. Advanced registration is required to receive the Zoom link.
