Mobley v. Workday tests liability for discrimination in AI-based hiring
The Mobley v. Workday lawsuit is testing when vendors of automated hiring tools and employers can be held liable for discrimination. In the Sirius XM case, the court dismissed the claim because the plaintiff did not show how the use of AI may have caused harm.
Who is affected and how
- HR professional
- Impact assessments of AI screening tools, human review and the liability clauses in vendor contracts should be documented.
- job seeker
- An automated rejection can be challenged successfully only with concrete evidence of its impact.
