Everyone pictures AI screening as a wall keeping outsiders out. At my company it's mostly a door letting insiders move up. We have forty thousand employees, and the internal mobility tool surfaces people whose skills match open roles in other departments, including people whose managers would never have thought to recommend them. Last year it moved a warehouse associate into a data analyst role after flagging his SQL coursework. His manager had no idea. Without the tool, internal hiring is who your boss knows and who plays golf with whom. The ban would kill that too, because the law won't neatly distinguish external screening from internal matching. Be careful what you outlaw.
