So... how about skin color^W^W culture fit test?
Or, perhaps there's some hidden classifiers that out protected statuses that can be used in AI/ML interviewing black boxes? By the time someone sues, the ML logic will have mutated with more input thus invalidating the previous decisions.

Long story short, hiring practices need to be transparent AND understandable. Because right now we're going down a very bad path.
- AlexTWithBeard 8y agohiring practices need to be transparent AND understandable It's easier said than done. Can you, for example, think of a transparent and understandable way of telling a cat from a dog?
- mruts 8y agoAre you saying that you shouldn’t be able to consider skin color in movies or tv shows? Because that would be pretty ridiculeous.
- jogjayr 8y agoActing roles are an example an exception from EEO laws because the job requires it. It's not illegal to discriminate on the basis of a protected class (age, sex, color, nationality etc) if it's a genuine requirement for the job. And if the employer claims a protected class attribute is a "genuine requirement" when it really isn't, you can be sure they'll have to go to court to defend it. An exceptional case isn't applicable to most jobs in the world.
