Why it belongs in this tracker
This enforcement action illustrates alleged discrimination through programmed rejection rules. The source establishes automated screening; it does not establish that the system used machine learning.
Outcome
The EEOC announced monetary relief, training, policy changes and compliance monitoring under a consent decree. The allegations and settlement should be distinguished from a contested judgment finding discrimination. No new 2026 merits development is asserted here.
