The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) published its Artificial Intelligence (AI) & Inclusive Hiring Framework, a new tool designed to help employers reduce the risk of creating unintentional forms of discrimination and barriers to accessibility as they implement AI hiring technology and to help workers and job seekers navigate the potential benefits and challenges they may face when encountering AI-enabled technologies.
The framework has ten focus areas, including practices, goals and sample activities that employers can adopt in their AI governance and disability-inclusive hiring initiatives. Each area has information on maximizing benefits and managing risks for workers and job seekers when an organization assesses, acquires, or deploys an AI hiring technology.
