The short answer
Using AI does not remove fair housing, consumer-reporting or other applicable obligations. Evaluate the screening policy, data, explanations and human review process before relying on any score or recommendation.
On this page
Ask what drives the result
Identify the data sources, relevance of criteria, correction process and limitations. Avoid unsupported inferences about protected characteristics or proxies. A vendor's accuracy claim is not a legal review of your use.
Preserve a reviewable decision
Apply lawful, consistent criteria and handle required notices and report disputes through the applicable process. Check jurisdiction-specific restrictions and obtain qualified review for the actual policy.
Example: conflicting records
An automated result flags a record that may belong to someone else. Pause and follow the verification and dispute process rather than treating the score as conclusive. Document the factual basis for the final decision.
