Goldstein v. RTX Corp.
Court rejects defendants’ proposal to train an AI model to identify putative collective members and orders negotiated search terms instead.
C.A. No. 24-1169-JLH-SRF (D. Del. Sept. 14, 2026)
Defendants proposed training an AI model to identify “Recent Graduate Positions” in job postings in lieu of negotiating search terms with opposing counsel, arguing that search terms posed the risk “of an underinclusive search.”
The court rejected their proposal, reasoning that “[a] collaborative process to agree on search terms is preferable to the unilateral training of an artificial intelligence model, which is no less likely to raise issues of under-inclusiveness.”
