The use of AI in employment is truly a new frontier. AI reflects the world from which it learns and those who create it. Employers cannot rely on AI tools alone for employee recruitment and management. Proactively mitigating algorithmic bias is not only warranted but, in some forward-thinking jurisdictions, mandatory.
In the religious accommodation context an employer need only show that the accommodation would require it to incur more than a "de minimis cost."
