The AI Employment Regulations Initiative (AERI) is a vital coalition focused on ensuring equitable hiring practices through the responsible use of artificial intelligence. Based in Phoenix, we unite civil rights organizations, policymakers, researchers, and labor unions to combat AI-driven discrimination in the workforce. Our mission is to promote transparency, fairness, and accountability in AI systems used for hiring and workforce management. By advocating for stronger regulations and legal protections, we strive to create a fair job market that respects and values every candidate's unique contributions.
Regulating AI in hiring is crucial to prevent discrimination and promote fairness in the job market. AI systems can inadvertently perpetuate biases based on age, race, gender, and other characteristics, leading to unjust exclusions of qualified candidates. AERI fights for mandatory audits and transparency in AI algorithms to ensure compliance with anti-discrimination laws. By holding employers accountable for their hiring practices, we strive to create an inclusive environment where every applicant is given a fair chance, regardless of their background or identity.
AERI actively advocates for the rights of job applicants by pushing for essential legal protections and transparency in AI hiring processes. We collaborate with a diverse coalition of stakeholders, including civil rights organizations and labor unions, to demand mandatory audits of AI systems used in hiring. Our goal is to ensure that job applicants are treated fairly and equitably, free from bias and discrimination. Through our efforts, we aim to empower candidates with the knowledge and rights they deserve in an evolving job market influenced by artificial intelligence.
