In part two of our insightful artificial intelligence series, partner Guy Brenner, who leads Proskauer’s D.C. Labor & Employment practice and is co-head of the Counseling, Training & Pay Equity Group, and Jonathan Slowik, senior counsel, Labor & Employment, in the firm’s Los Angeles office, explore the critical issue of AI training data in employment decisions. We discuss how issues with training data can create risk with respect to employment discrimination laws, even when AI systems are not explicitly programmed to consider protected characteristics. We also highlight the potential for inaccuracies in AI models due to insufficient or unrepresentative training data. So be sure to tune in as the legal implications of these issues can be of importance to employers when understanding potential biases in AI systems.
