Recently,  the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) each released a technical assistance document on artificial intelligence (AI) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The DOJ’s guidance document, Algorithms, Artificial Intelligence, and Disability Discrimination in Hiring, provides a broad overview of how employers’ use of AI and other technologies in hiring and employment may result in unlawful discrimination against people with disabilities under Title I of the ADA. The press release is available here. To find out more about the guidance or the ADA, visit ada.gov or call the Justice Department's toll-free ADA information line at 1-800-514-0301 or 1-800-514-0383 (TDD). To find out more about the EEOC’s technical assistance document, visit The Americans with Disabilities Act and the Use of Software, Algorithms, and Artificial Intelligence to Assess Job Applicants and Employees or eeoc.gov.
