The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has today settled a lawsuit with iTutorGroup for $365,000 over AI-driven age discrimination, marking the first settlement against AI-powered recruitment tools in the US.

It was announced in May 2022 that the EEOC was suing the iTutorGroup for their use of an algorithm in 2020 that automatically rejected older applicants due to their age, with women over 55 and males over 60 being disqualified from consideration.
