Start with the part where AI hiring tools favor people named "Jared."

Humans do that too. Regulating AI won’t change that.
I can tell a human what they’re doing and they can be aware of their bias and guard against it. This is part of the point of “unconscious bias” training. AI can’t do this.

If you’re saying humans are consciously hiring people named Jared, they shouldn’t be allowed to provide hiring feedback.

AI would probably do it less than humans. If AI also does it, then Jareds probably really are better the employees.

(Or the AI was used incompetently. That's always an option. Was AI the reason why US universities discriminated illegally against non-blacks and non-hispanics? I really doubt it.)

Do not tell Subway.
