Using AI to filter applicants must be fraught with legal risks. Discrimination, unknown biases in the model used, all kinds of things that risk screening someone out illegally. Hopefully someone loses a big lawsuit to scare the industry into sense.
I can’t remember the court case per se but it involved a self driving car hitting a pedestrian I think.

Privatize the gains, socialize the losses, evade accountability!
