Should companies be banned from using AI to screen job applications?

I view this more as an argument against proprietary vendors, not really against the tech. The middle path nobody in this type of debate ever seems to mention is requiring screening models to be open, auditable, and tested, instead of just outright banning them. Not everything needs a binary or black&white solution. An open source model with published weights, published training data, and mandatory bias audits is more transparent than any human hiring manager who ever lived. You will never get to inspect a recruiter's neurons. But you can inspect code. The 'ban' side wants to throw out the auditable thing (code) because the unauditable thing they're used to (people) exists. But just because something is familiar doesn't make it good.
