Executive Order 14110, formally titled “Executive Order on the Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence,” charges multiple federal agencies with producing guidelines to regulate the use and implementation of AI across a range of well-regulated fields, including the use of AI by federal contractors. In particular, EO 14110 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.
