AI’s role in decision-making, such as recruitment or loan approvals, raises concerns about bias and discrimination.

UK anti-discrimination laws, including the Equality Act 2010, prohibit discrimination based on race, gender, disability, and age. Businesses must mitigate algorithmic biases, conduct AI system audits, and establish accountability mechanisms to ensure fairness.

Failure to address these risks can lead to legal challenges, reputational damage, and regulatory scrutiny, necessitating proactive compliance with anti-discrimination laws in AI implementation.
