  I'm amazed the lawsuits aren't already locked-and-loaded. All you need to do is acquire the software, feed in a video clip of a male/female or white/black applicant saying the same things (maybe use deepfakes to ensure consistency in delivery), and if the score is one iota different, you've got the developer, at best, having to try to explain away a lot of ugly black-box logic, and at worst, a cut-and-dry discrimination case. A human screener is probably somewhat biased too, but he's at least trained to provide a legally acceptable excuse for his choices.
