Algorithmic Discrimination
Algorithmic Discrimination / Algorithmic Bias
Any condition in which the use of an AI system results in an unlawful differential treatment or impact that disfavors individuals based on their actual or perceived membership in a protected class.
Why This Matters for Employers
Colorado AI Act's central requirement is using "reasonable care" to protect consumers from algorithmic discrimination. This is the harm all AI hiring regulations seek to prevent.
