The American Humanist Association says University of Kentucky research administrator David Durman received an accommodation allowing him to avoid personally using AI at work on the basis of his humanist beliefs. His department determined that he could perform his duties without creating undue hardship. This was an individual employment decision, not a court ruling granting every employee a right to refuse AI. A humanist declaration on AI emphasizes human judgment and responsibility, so the case should not be read as a universal humanist prohibition on AI.
