Corporate Governance and Industry Norms

 As artificial intelligence and emerging technologies are increasingly embedded in decisions affecting employment, housing, credit, healthcare, surveillance, and access to opportunity, corporate norms and internal “best practices” shape the definition, application and enforcement of  antidiscrimination protections. This panel examines how companies do and should operationalize concepts such as fairness, bias mitigation, transparency, and accountability—and how those choices influence litigation, regulatory oversight, and policy development. Panelists will explore the extent to which voluntary standards, audits, and governance frameworks might meaningfully advance (or undermine) antidiscrimination goals.
