AI hiring tools may be filtering out the best job applicants

an AI resume screener had been trained on CVs of employees already at the firm, giving people extra marks if they listed "baseball" or "basketball" – hobbies that were linked to more successful staff, often men. Those who mentioned "softball" – typically women – were downgraded.
Marginalised groups often "fall through the cracks, because they have different hobbies, they went to different schools"

I tried one of these video screening interviews once. It's very unfriendly to the neuro-atypical. Gave up about halfway through, because I was on the verge of a stress-induced panic attack and figured the job wasn't worth it with this kind of hoop to apply.
