12:00 pm - 1:00 pm ESTThis session teaches plaintiffs’ employment attorneys how to plead federal and state discrimination and protected-leave claims when an employer used AI or algorithmic scoring to select employees for layoff. Attorneys will learn how to identify and name the specific AI systems and data inputs at issue, adapt FMLA, ADA, PDA, PWFA, and Title VII disparate-impact frameworks to algorithmic fact patterns, and leverage state and local regulations— including NYC Local Law 144, California’s October 2025 AI regulations, and Colorado’s SB 24-205. Attendees will leave with a checklist for complaint drafting in algorithmic reduction-in-force cases and ideas for navigating the pre-complaint investigation process.
