Workday AI Hiring Lawsuit Tests Who Is Responsible When Applicants Are Screened Out by Software

Plaintiffs in Mobley v. Workday, a California class action, say Workday's AI screening tools disproportionately rejected Black applicants, women, people aged 40 and over, and people with disabilities. They have asked the court to certify four proposed classes, and a 7 October order allowed Workday to question 15 of 38 supporting applicants. Workday denies wrongdoing, and the certification motion is still pending.
