As AI technology becomes integrated into hiring processes, litigation surrounding its use is on the rise, notably due to a lack of legal precedents. The recent ruling in Mobley v. Workday, Inc. demonstrates this trend, where a federal court permitted the certification of a collective lawsuit claiming that Workday's AI system discriminated against job applicants aged 40 and above. This case brings attention to the implications of AI in recruitment, specifically under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), highlighting how algorithms can impact employment opportunities for older candidates.
The lawsuit Mobley v. Workday, Inc. highlights concerns over AI discrimination against older applicants, as plaintiffs seek collective certification under ADEA for those age 40 and over.
Judge Rita Lin's ruling emphasizes the need for companies using AI in hiring to consider potential discrimination impacts as lawsuits like this could set important legal precedents.
