AI Verified Relevant: in the source context, this quote appears as a key takeaway stating that AI should support human-led processes and "should never be relied on to make final hiring or employment decisions." The page also emphasizes keeping humans in the loop and notes emerging rights to human review, so the quote is directly on the issue of prohibiting fully automated hiring decisions without human review and makes a stance on the complete statement substantially more likely.

AI Verified The quote says AI is "not the decision-maker" and "should never be relied on to make final hiring or employment decisions." In the source’s key takeaways, this is presented as a recommendation to keep humans in the loop, so it strongly implies support for banning fully automated hiring decisions without human review, even though the word "ban" is not used explicitly.

AI Verified Relevant: on the source page, this appears as a key takeaway that AI should support human-led processes and never make final hiring or employment decisions. Hiring/employment is a high-stakes domain, so the quote strongly signals a human-in-the-loop oversight position, even though it is narrower than all agentic AI systems.

AI Verified The author is clearly supportive: the source frames AI as something that should "support human-led processes" and says it should "never be relied on to make final hiring or employment decisions." That strongly implies human-in-the-loop oversight for high-stakes AI use, even though the example is specifically employment rather than every high-stakes domain.

AI Verified The McDermott event page at the supplied URL, dated August 12, 2025, contains the wording "AI is a tool, not the decision-maker. [...] it should never be relied on to make final hiring or employment decisions" as a faithful abridgment of its numbered takeaway; the omitted text is "AI is a tool to support human-led processes;". Because this appears in McDermott Will & Schulte’s own event-summary content on that page, the stored author, date, and source URL are supported.
