AI in Employment: The New Discrimination Frontier # Artificial intelligence has transformed how companies hire, evaluate, and fire workers. Resume screening algorithms, video interview analysis, personality assessments, performance prediction models, and automated termination systems now influence employment decisions affecting millions of workers annually. But as AI adoption accelerates, so does evidence that these systems perpetuate, and sometimes amplify, discrimination based on race, age, disability, and gender.
The Case That Could Reshape AI Hiring # Mobley v. Workday, Inc. is the most significant legal challenge to AI-powered hiring tools in American history. After a federal court granted class certification in May 2025, the case now represents potentially millions of job applicants over age 40 who were rejected by Workday’s algorithmic screening system.
The AI Litigation Explosion # Artificial intelligence litigation has reached an inflection point. From copyright battles over training data to employment discrimination class actions, from product liability claims for AI chatbots to healthcare AI denial lawsuits, 2025 has seen an unprecedented wave of cases that will define AI accountability for decades to come.
