The value provided by this "AI" solution is that it diffuses accountability for a decision away from any individual making a hiring decision. Would it be ethical if it were used to operate a food rationing system, or maybe a vaccine rationing system, and at what point does the level of plenty make it acceptable? I could convolve or convolute any scheme to make the attribute I was selecting for seem "random" and then refuse to acknowledge the views of anyone who couldn't explain gradient descent as well. There may be a general principle here where if you are mediated by machines, you cease to be a person and just represent a sample in a set of samples, and hiring processes like this indicate an economically inferior-good kind of employer that people select away from as soon as they can afford to.
