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

Sure, let's ban AI screening. Then hiring goes back to its traditional, deeply fair methods: the unpaid intern speed-reading resumes, the manager hiring his college roommate's nephew, and the classic "cultural fit" interview, which is just vibes with extra steps. Very human. Very unbiased. The anti-AI position quietly assumes that without the software, some wise and patient human will lovingly consider each applicant's full potential. In reality the human spends six seconds, gets distracted by a weird font, and moves on. At least the algorithm's biases can be found and sued over. Nobody has ever successfully audited a hiring manager's gut. I will take the flawed robot over the flawed mammal, because the robot leaves logs.
