In a 2024 survey of business leaders, the majority reported plans to use AI in hiring by 2025, and seven in ten said they would let AI systems reject candidates without human oversight, despite the risk of adverse outcomes. This trajectory risks reshaping the labor market around opaque assessments that, without testing and guardrails, can easily treat workers unfairly and break the law.
