A user reported that their company's AI resume screening tool cut time-to-hire by 60% but rejected 100% of applicants who graduated before 2010. The HR team had instructed the AI to optimize for "digital natives" and "youthful energy." The user noted that automating age discrimination doesn't make it legal, but highly scalable and easy to prove in court.
