Unintentional discrimination is still discrimination and can result in serious penalties in a lawsuit so long as the effects of actions cause a discriminatory result.
As a result, defendants now have much greater exposure to liability than they had under the 2020 Rule, which has been revoked by this new Final Rule even though it was never enforced or went into effect during the Trump era.
In the sale, rental, or financing of dwellings and in other housing-related activities, HUD has clarified, by 24 CFR 100, its Rule to evaluate a case, which is effective on May 1, 2023.
The Rule sets forth how our government analyzes a Title VIII Fair Housing Act case and looks back to reinstate HUD's 2013 rule, titled "Implementation of the Fair Housing Act's Discriminatory Effects Standard." Under the rule, discrimination occurs through "facially neutral practices with an unjustified discriminatory effect." To understand whether there is an unjustified discriminatory effect, the Rule requires "a burden-shifting test," as follows:
- The plaintiff or charging party is first required to prove as part of the prima facie showing that a challenged practice caused or predictably will cause a discriminatory effect;
- if the plaintiff or charging party makes this prima facie showing, the defendant or respondent must then prove that the challenged practice is necessary to achieve one or more substantial, legitimate, nondiscriminatory interests of the defendant or respondent; and
- if the defendant or respondent meets its burden at step two, the plaintiff or charging party may still prevail by proving that the substantial, legitimate, nondiscriminatory interests supporting the challenged practice could be served by another practice that has a less discriminatory effect.

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) recently released its 2022 Annual Performance Report, revealing that it collected a record-breaking $513 million in compensation for victims of discrimination. This amount was collected from 65,000 charges of discrimination, which resulted in 91 lawsuits in federal court. The majority of these charges were based on allegations of sex and retaliation discrimination, followed by disability, race, national origin, age, and religion.
Most importantly, discrimination charges were up almost 20% year-over-year.

On March 16, 2023, just two days after GPT-4's big release, the Copyright Office is getting into the AI game by addressing "the use of sophisticated artificial intelligence (“AI”) technologies capable of producing expressive material" in its Official Statement of Policy published in the Federal Register.
To begin, the Statement of Policy asks the following questions with respect to Generative AI:
- whether the material they produce is protected by copyright?
- whether works consisting of both human-authored and AI-generated material may be registered?
- what information should be provided to the Office by applicants seeking to register them?
The Copyright Office, then, answers these question through the guise of the Copyright Act's "human authorship requirement," which is found in the definition of the term "author," as set forth by SCOTUS in the case "Burrow-Giles Lithographic Co. v. Sarony" to mean “he to whom anything owes its origin; originator; maker; one who completes a work of science or literature.”
Thereafter, the Copyright Office posits that "when an AI technology receives solely a prompt from a human and produces complex written, visual, or musical works in response, the 'traditional elements of authorship' are determined and executed by the technology—not the human user." Stated otherwise, "[w]hen an AI technology determines the expressive elements of its output, the generated material is not the product of human authorship." In these scenarios, no copyright is available.
However, where a human "select[s] or arrange[s] AI-generated material in a sufficiently creative way," copyright is available. Additional, if the AI-generated material is modified, then a copyright is available.
With respect to the information to be provided to the copyright office, the Statement of Policy explains that the "Author Created" field from the "Standard Application" to explicitly "claim the portions of the textual work that is human-authored."
Finally, the Copyright Office leaves us with a teaser for later in the year when it will seek public comment later this year on "how the law should apply to the use of copyrighted works in AI training and the resulting treatment of outputs."

Wrongful termination is a serious issue that can have significant consequences for employees who have been unfairly dismissed from their jobs. If you believe that you have been wrongfully terminated, it's important to understand what types of situations can give rise to a case for wrongful termination.
There are two main scenarios in which an employee may have a case for wrongful termination.
- Termination from whistleblowing or reporting a violation of law / safety to a supervisor or government agency.
- Termination from discrimination based on your demographics, which can include race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, handicap / disability, sexual orientation, domestic violence victim status, stalking victim status, gender identity / expression, marital status, gender, creed, age, alienage status, citizenship status, ethnic background, pregnancy, arrest / sealed conviction record, and other protected categories.
If you believe that your termination falls under either of these scenarios, you may have a case for wrongful termination and you should seek legal representation. A qualified attorney will help you understand your rights and options and can work to get you the compensation that you deserve.

On 3/13/2023, S3255 passed the NYS Senate and was delivered to the Assembly.
This Anti-Discrimination Bill is so important to school-children and governmental employees facing discrimination in the State of New York.
Currently, when suing many governmental defendants for discrimination, such as school districts, victims only have one year to bring their claims (except for sexual harassment claims) before the New York State Division of Human Rights. This bill would make the limitations period three years.
The bill is particularly important to bridge the gap between suing the government and non-governmental actors. When suing a non-government actor for discrimination, a victim can bring a court case, rather than a claim before the New York State Division of Human Rights, under the New York State Human Rights Law, within three years of the wrongful acts of discrimination.
However, discrimination court cases against the government are often subject to a notice of claim statute where the statute of limitations is effectively limited to ninety days.
As a result, many victims of governmental discrimination are out of luck when brining claims because they did not act quickly enough.
Often times, a claim against a school district for permitting harassment in school is an ongoing case where acts over years demonstrate the discrimination, but recent events only tell an incomplete story.
This law will bring fairness to the state and protect victims of discrimination.
We strongly support the passage of this Bill and hope that the Assembly passes it swiftly.
