Abstract

This discussion is divided into three basic parts. Part one will provide a brief overview of artificial intelligence technology, its societal implications, and use emerging uses in hiring. Part two will discuss the potential for Title VII disparate impact arising from the use of artificial intelligence in hiring. Finally, part three will discuss proposed solutions to the challenges associated with the use of artificial intelligence technology, ultimately advocating for an approach that involves careful selection of the artificial intelligence program and balancing the use of artificial intelligence technology with human intuition.
