What Is Equitable AI?
Equitable AI is artificial intelligence (AI) technology intentionally designed, developed, and implemented to result in equitable outcomes for everyone
Why Is Equitable AI Important?
Organizations often use AI to screen job candidates and streamline recruitment efforts. While AI can help to expedite the hiring process, organizations must carefully plan how it is used to avoid bias against current and future employees, including people with disabilities.
The Consequences of Bias
AI tools can exclude candidates at each stage of the talent acquisition process. For example, some interviewers use screening software that tracks eye movement to determine if a job candidate is engaged. This software may reject a qualified candidate who is blind or visually impaired. While it is not the intended outcome of the technology, bias in AI is a common consequence. The Partnership on Employment & Accessible Technology (PEAT) is funded by the ice of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP), U.S. Department of Labor and supported by Wheelhouse Group.
