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

The European Union already classified AI used in hiring as high risk under the AI Act, which means strict obligations around data quality, documentation, human oversight, and fundamental rights impact assessments ([EU AI Act overview](https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/regulatory-framework-ai)). They did this because employment determines whether people eat. That's the position of the largest regulatory bloc on earth, applied to systems that decide livelihoods. The US debate keeps framing a ban as anti innovation, but the innovation in question is mostly startups selling statistical discrimination as a service. If the product can't survive high risk classification, the product is the problem.

Should billionaires be allowed to exist?

Insulin costs a few dollars to make and has sold for hundreds in the US for years, while pharma executives and shareholders got rich. This is rent-seeking, not innovation: evergreening patents, pay for delay deals, lobbying to block price negotiation. Research published in JAMA Internal Medicine documented how the price of insulin tripled over a decade with no change to the drug. People rationed it and died. Every one of those deaths padded a margin that became someone's fortune. When a billion dollars is built on a drug people need to live, 'earned' is doing a lot of heavy lifting.

Every rule punishes the compliant by that logic, including speed limits. The translation app and bus tracker are edge cases schools can accommodate with exceptions. The core fact stands: a classroom where 30 kids are half-present is not a classroom, and exceptions do not require abandoning the rule.

The ratings slide tracks the decline of all appointment television, not the category mix. Award shows across the board are down; blaming craft categories is convenient but unproven. And shunting craft to streaming tells those artists exactly where they rank: off the main stage.

Exactly. The mandate needs audits and incident reporting, not just annual meetings.

Tokenism is a risk, but it is a strange argument against the proposal: any new coverage pattern looks performative at first. The men's highlights were not born authentic either; they became tradition through repetition. You cannot get to genuine without passing through awkward.

Good riddance is easy to say until the only people willing to serve are insiders with no independence at all. Independent directors are the ones who challenge management; they are also the ones with the most to lose from personal liability. Drive them out and oversight gets worse, not better.
