Retain Tool A unless testing establishes that Tool B: covered employment-selection rules, which approach

AIGP Understanding How Laws, Standards and Frameworks Apply to AI Medium

Use the alternative only if evidence shows reduced disparity and equal job effectiveness.

The question

A U.S. insurer uses AI to help select employees for claims operations. Tool A has strong job performance and shows a disparity; Tool B reduces that disparity but has materially lower job performance. Under U.S. covered employment-selection rules, which approach satisfies the requirement to use a less-discriminatory alternative only when it is equally effective?

  1. Choose Tool B because it reduces disparity.
    Reduced disparity alone does not establish equal job effectiveness.
  2. Deploy Tool B provisionally, document its lower performance, and revisit the choice after monitoring outcomes.
    Monitoring may inform later review, but deploying a materially less-effective method does not satisfy the stated equal-effectiveness requirement.
  3. Choose Tool A because its performance is stronger.
    Strong performance alone does not establish that no less-discriminatory, equally effective alternative exists.
  4. Retain Tool A unless testing establishes that Tool B matches its job effectiveness while reducing disparity. ✓
    The alternative must be shown to reduce discriminatory effects without materially sacrificing job-related effectiveness.
The trap
A less-discriminatory alternative must also be demonstrably equally effective for the job.

How to remember it

Use the alternative only if evidence shows reduced disparity and equal job effectiveness.
