Scenario:
AI-Driven Hiring System
A major corporation implements an AI-driven system to streamline its hiring process. The AI is programmed to analyze resumes and assess candidate suitability based on certain criteria, such as education, experience, and skill set. The system fails to properly accommodate candidates with disabilities, such as those requiring assistive technology or alternative formats for their resumes. As a result, the AI system automatically filters out these candidates, even if they are highly qualified for the position. The company has received complaints from advocacy groups, but the HR team continues to rely on the AI system without any adjustments.
