Accountability in Human and Artificial Intelligence Decision-Making as the Basis for Diversity and Educational Inclusion

Belief v. Belief: Resolving LGBTQ Rights Conflicts in the Religious Workplace
Employment disputes are increasingly centered on the conflicting moral and religious values of corporations, their employees, and their customers.
