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. These conflicts are especially challenging when they involve the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual, and queer/questioning (LGBTQ) employees and customers contraposed against the religious beliefs of corporations and their owners. When religious values compete with civil rights in the employment
