What US Department of Labor - AI and Worker Well-Being Principles and Best Practices (April 2024) requires
The US Department of Labor (DOL) published 'Artificial Intelligence and Worker Well-Being: Principles and Best Practices for Developers and Employers' in April 2024, establishing the Biden administration's framework for responsible AI use in the workplace; the DOL principles respond to Section 7.2 of Executive Order 14110 (October 2023) which directed the DOL to develop guidance on AI's impact on workers; the eight DOL AI principles for workplace AI are: (1) Centering worker empowerment - workers and their representatives should have genuine input into the design, development, and deployment of AI systems that affect them; (2) Ethically developing AI - developers must address bias, safety, and responsible data use from the design stage; (3) Establishing AI governance and human oversight - employers must maintain meaningful human oversight of AI-enabled decisions affecting workers; (4) Ensuring transparency and explainability - workers must be informed when AI is used in decisions affecting their employment and receive an explanation of how those decisions are made; (5) Protecting labor and employment rights - AI systems must not undermine workers' rights under the National Labor Relations Act, anti-discrimination laws, or wage and hour laws; (6) Using AI to enable workers - AI should augment workers' capabilities and enhance job quality, not purely displace or surveil workers; (7) Supporting workers impacted by AI - employers should provide training, transition support, and career development for workers affected by AI-driven changes; (8) Ensuring responsible use of worker data - worker data collected through AI systems must be used only for legitimate purposes, stored securely, and not used to undermine worker rights; the DOL principles are non-binding guidance (not regulation) but reflect DOL's enforcement priorities under existing statutes including FLSA, NLRA, Title VII, ADA, and OSHA.
