I think more scary than any bias the algorithm might have, is giving such enormous power to a single company - to be able to influence hiring decisions for all the companies that use it. Even if they're not malicious (yet), what happens when its use becomes more widespread, and some people are (rightly or wrongly) classified as unemployable? Right now they can try their luck at a different company, but it won't make any difference if that company also uses HireVue.
Putting a black-box AI in charge of everyone's prosperity is crazy.

Pretty soon, people figured out how to game the test to guarantee the best possible outcome. If this thing ever goes bigger, people will do the same, especially with tech already existing. And of course, no self respecting company will ever use this.
