Historic Settlement: EEOC Resolves AI-Driven Age Discrimination Case The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has reached a groundbreaking settlement with iTutorGroup for $365,000 over allegations of AI-driven age discrimination. This marks the first-ever settlement against AI-powered recruitment tools in the US. The EEOC filed the lawsuit in May 2022, accusing iTutorGroup of using an algorithm that automatically rejected older job applicants based on their age. Women over 55 and men over 60 were disproportionately affected by this automated process, which violated the Age Discrimination Act's protections for individuals aged 40 and above. With litigation initiated in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, the EEOC's efforts to conciliate prior to legal action were unsuccessful. As a result, the case was set for a settlement conference in October 2023. However, the EEOC has now settled the case for $365,000, underlining the significance of this legal victory. As part of the consent decree, iTutorGroup is barred from automatically rejecting candidates based on age or gender. The company is required to adhere to non-discrimination laws and collaborate with the EEOC to establish policies that prevent unlawful discrimination in the future. This lawsuit is likely to set a precedent for future cases involving HR Tech tools. The ongoing regulatory focus on automated employment decisions calls for responsible and compliant AI use to avoid legal consequences and uphold fairness. #AI#Law#LegalTech#EqualOpportunity#Discrimination#AIEthics
静态网站悖论 个人网站的两种不同实现方式：一种是复杂的内容管理系统（CMS），另一种是简单的静态 HTML 文件。文章指出，尽管大多数普通用户倾向于使用复杂的解决方案（如 WordPress），但实际上，只有少数专业软件工程师能够选择更简单的静态网站。 via HackerNews 2024 10 09 前两天刚好听朋友说 square space 已经涨到了近乎搞笑的 $25 月费，做不用来盈利的个人博客实在难以 justify。这篇文章中吐槽得很在点子上： normal users are stuck with a bunch of greedy clowns that make them pay for every little thing, all while wasting ungodly amounts of computational power to render what could have been a static website in 99% of cases. 普通用户被困在了一群屁大点功能都要收费的贪婪小丑手里，与此同时浪费着人神共愤额度的算力来渲染 99% 的情况下都可以作为静态的网站。 当然原文中说的“只有少数专业软件工程师才能选择更简单的静态网站”略微夸张并不认同，因为静态站至少是比 self-host 的动态 CMS 少太多维护了。我的 backlog 里也一直躺了篇安利新手用静态站并拉踩 WP 的文，不过网上这种文已经有无数了也还是拦不住前赴后继往各种 CMS 的坑里冲的新手，觉得写了又有什么意义呢就还搁着没写。（当然迟早会像以前反复造的无数轮子一样被废话欲战胜的 but not today） #indieblog#newletter

US: New Federal Privacy Bill Aims to Safeguard Against AI-Driven Discrimination Greetings! Senator Maria Cantwell, head of the Senate Commerce Committee, has highlighted that her introduced federal privacy bill could serve as a protective shield against discrimination fueled by artificial intelligence. Speaking at the Washington state's Future of AI forum, she underscored both the potential of AI and the necessity for "guardrails" to prevent potential risks. Cantwell expressed concerns about AI's potential discriminatory applications, which might lead to unfair employment or loan practices. She emphasized the importance of her privacy legislation, designed to safeguard individuals from such biases. While not providing specific details during the forum, Cantwell's spokesperson indicated that she was referring to the Consumer Online Privacy Rights Act, initially introduced in 2019 and re-introduced in 2021. The bill proposes several key provisions, including requiring companies to obtain consumers' opt-in consent for behaviorally targeted ads and prohibiting discriminatory ad targeting based on factors such as race, religion, or sex. The legislation also aims to hold companies accountable for using algorithms in housing, education, job, or credit ads. Cantwell's advocacy reflects a growing awareness of the need to regulate AI applications to ensure fairness and protect individuals' rights. #AI#Privacy#Discrimination#Legislation#AIEthics#Law

Lithuania Bans Property Purchases by Russians and Belarusians The Lithuanian Parliament committee has approved a ban on Russian and Belarusian citizens buying real estate in Lithuania. Exceptions apply only to those already residing in the country, but transactions near military sites remain prohibited. This broad ban targets nationality rather than specific sanctioned individuals. Previously, Lithuania tightened rules by revoking residence permits from Russians visiting their homeland. #Lithuania#Russia#Belarus#RealEstate#Discrimination The main news of Russia and the world ishere.

In 1968, teacher Jane Elliott divided her students by eye color (blue vs brown) to show how discrimination works. One group was labeled “better” and given privileges. The other was treated as “worse.” Children quickly changed behavior and school performance, proving how labels and power create prejudice. 🧠👀 (Read more 1) (Read more 2) @googlefactss #Psychology#SocialExperiment#JaneElliott#Discrimination#Education#History
