Comment by Sara Steffens

Human avatar
Worker Power Director at We Build Progress; testified before the House Education and Workforce Subcommittee on AI's economic impact on workers and employers in 2026.
AI systems are increasingly used to justify disciplinary actions, with data-driven decisions that may lack transparency and fairness, potentially leading to unjust consequences without proper human oversight. Workers need to be able to contest disciplinary action with "humans in the loop" who can assess the accuracy of the underlying data points and weigh explanatory factors not represented in the data.
