My understanding is that their objection is to having a black box AI that can make or break a hire. What's to stop them from not hiring anyone because "the box said no"? What's to stop the hiring process from being entirely composed of the black box, with nobody knowing what it takes to beat? Sure you have the skills and experience, but unfortunately your facial pattern makes you seem impersonal. Don't worry, they'll keep you on file just in case.

Wouldn't the free market solve for this? I mean if the AI system leads to worse hires the company hiring using it's signals will suffer in the market and ultimately lose out to a superior competitor who picked up hot superstar rejects with facial ticks on the cheap, right?
