- What Counts as an AEDT: A clear explanation of Automated Employment Decision Tools (AEDTs), from resume screeners and chatbots to video analysis and predictive scoring, and which tools trigger compliance requirements.

Turning Compliance into a Competitive Advantage
Organizations are moving quickly to integrate AI into sourcing, screening, and selection. The efficiency gains are real, but so are the compliance obligations, and organizations remain accountable for outcomes even when the tools come from third-party vendors.
This roadmap helps HR and TA leaders and compliance stakeholders build a defensible AI governance framework, evaluate vendors against fairness standards, communicate transparently with candidates, and stay ahead of regulatory change rather than react to it.
