The University of Kentucky granted a religious accommodation to a humanist employee. The accommodation excuses him from using AI at work. The university’s equal opportunity office ruled that nonuse posed no undue burden. The employee cited moral objections to AI’s environmental and ethical impacts. The American Humanist Association announced the decision on October 26. The university reviews such requests individually. The employee is a research administrator. The accommodation allows him to perform essential job functions without AI. The case highlights emerging compliance issues for employers adopting AI. A 2023 Supreme Court ruling raised the bar for denying religious accommodations.
