📢 Empowering Workers in the Age of AI Hiring
🚨 AI is reshaping hiring—but who protects workers? The AI Employment Rights Initiative (AERI) fights for fair, transparent, and accountable AI hiring systems to ensure workers' rights are protected in an era of automated decision-making.
In a fitting—and ironic—illustration of why our work is so critical, our AI-generated logo was created with explicit instructions to correctly spell "Employment." And yet, AI still got it wrong. If artificial intelligence can’t reliably handle something as fundamental as spelling, should we really trust it to determine livelihoods, career paths, and economic stability?
This is exactly why the AERI AI Employment Rights Initiative exists—to challenge blind reliance on AI in employment decisions and to advocate for human oversight, ethical standards, and policies that protect workers.
🤖 What We Do
🔹 Expose AI Hiring Bias – Investigate and challenge discriminatory AI hiring tools.
🔹 Push for AI Fairness Laws – Advocate for stronger regulations & legal accountability.
🔹 Empower Workers & Job Seekers – Provide resources, legal support, and advocacy.
🔹 Hold Corporations Accountable – Demand transparency in AI-driven hiring decisions.
⚖️ Why AI Hiring Transparency Matters
🚫 AI Systems Are Secretly Rejecting Qualified Candidates
Many employers use AI to screen applicants—but without disclosing how decisions are made. AI often reinforces bias, rejecting candidates based on age, race, disability, or gender.
🔍 You Have the Right to Know
AERI demands AI transparency laws to ensure workers can:
✅ Challenge unfair AI hiring decisions
✅ Understand how AI scoring works
✅ Opt-out of biased AI screening systems
📜 Our Policy Goals

✅ Bias Audits & Algorithmic Fairness – AI hiring tools must be independently tested for discrimination.
