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

I run operations for a call center company. We hire about three thousand agents a year across four sites. Turnover is high, the work is hard, and every open seat costs us money every day it sits empty. There's no version of this where humans read every application. There never was. Before the AI screeners, we used temp agencies and whoever showed up first, which was somehow supposed to be fairer? The screening model asks the same questions of everyone, scores the same way every time, and doesn't get tired at application number four hundred. You can audit it. You could never audit 'whoever showed up first.' Ban the tool and high volume hiring doesn't become human. It becomes arbitrary. BLS data shows millions of hires and separations every single month. The scale is the reality, not the exception.
