Davison Eastman Muñoz Paone, P.A. is proud to share that Elizabeth M. Trottier, Esq. and Rajeev Venkat, Esq. were featured in the latest issue of New Jersey Defense, a quarterly publication by the New Jersey Defense Association for their timely article examining algorithmic bias in AI‑driven applicant screening.
As AI tools become embedded in nearly every stage of the hiring process, from resume screening to automated video interviews, employers are facing new legal challenges.
Elizabeth and Rajeev’s article explores how these technologies, while efficient, can unintentionally perpetuate bias and expose employers to discrimination claims under federal and state law. Their analysis highlights several key developments, including:
- The rapid adoption of AI hiring tools across major employers
- Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s concerns about discriminatory outcomes in automated decision‑making
- The high‑profile Mobley v. Workday case, which may redefine how courts treat AI vendors under anti‑discrimination statutes
- New 2025 guidance from the New Jersey Division on Civil Rights on how the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination applies to algorithmic discrimination
This feature underscores Elizabeth and Rajeev’s expertise in navigating the evolving intersection of employment law and emerging technology. Their insights provide valuable guidance for employers seeking to implement AI responsibly while minimizing legal risk.
We congratulate Elizabeth and Rajeev on this well‑deserved recognition and their continued contributions to the legal community.
