Expert: AI is making decisions — but who is accountable?

From allegations that Meta used AI to help identify employees for layoffs to colleges struggling with AI-assisted cheating, businesses and universities face the same urgent question: Who is accountable when AI influences decisions that shape careers and futures?

Tulane University business and technology ethics expert Rob Lalka says institutions and companies cannot use AI to sidestep human judgment, transparency or responsibility.

Lalka can discuss:

• Who is responsible when AI-assisted decisions produce biased or unfair outcomes
• Whether employers should disclose AI’s role in hiring, evaluations and layoffs
• Why colleges and businesses may need to redesign assessments rather than rely on AI detection
• How institutions can embrace AI without sacrificing fairness, accountability or critical thinking
