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

People talk about this like a ban would be some wild unprecedented overreach. Illinois already did a version of it. The Artificial Intelligence Video Interview Act requires employers to notify applicants when AI will analyze their video interviews, explain how it works, and get consent ([Illinois Public Act 101-0260](https://www.ilga.gov/legislation/publicacts/fulltext.asp?Name=101-0260)). That law passed in 2019 and the sky didn't fall, companies still hire in Illinois. What happened is that a few of the creepiest vendors quietly left the market. A ban on screening AI is just the logical next step: if you have to warn candidates that a machine is judging their face, maybe the machine shouldn't be judging their face. Precedent exists. It works. Scale it up.

Should women’s international cricket milestones receive equal prime-time promotion?

Promotion is only one piece. Fans also need free-to-air access, consistent scheduling, knowledgeable commentary, and a season they can follow. A single equal-time rule might produce splashy clips while ordinary matches stay hard to find.

I got rejected by an ATS at a company that later called me through a referral for the exact same role. The system is filtering for keyword stuffers, not competence.

I am torn on innovation. The US really does produce most new drugs, but a lot of that research starts with NIH grants, meaning taxpayers already fund the early science. Maybe the profits are privatized more than the risk.
