OFCCP New Guidance on AI Use for Federal Contractors
The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) released updated guidance for the use of artificial intelligence (AI) by federal contractors on April 29, 2024—the latest indication that federal contractors’ use and development of AI will come under regulatory scrutiny. The latest guidance follows President Biden’s October 30, 2023, Executive Order 14110 calling for agency efforts to mitigate risks related to AI, which mandated the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) to “publish guidance for federal contractors regarding nondiscrimination in hiring involving AI and other technology-based hiring systems.”
In particular, the Executive Order tasked the secretary of labor with promulgating new nondiscrimination guidelines covering the use of AI and other technology-based hiring systems for federal contractors. As the primary subagency within the DOL regulating federal contractor compliance with federal nondiscrimination obligations, the OFCCP was tasked with developing this latest guidance.

Why You Should Attend
While AI and automated systems technologies have the potential to increase efficiency and improve decision-making by federal contractors and other employers, the OFCCP guidance warns that the technologies carry risks of discrimination or bias that could potentially violate laws enforced by the OFCCP.
