It's strange to say it might be biased. Bias is absolutely impossible to avoid, especially with how today's "AI" works.

You might be able to avoid it with a panel of AI, similar to how we try to avoid it by using panels of humans, but even that turns out to be contentious and not surefire.

I have feeling with AI it'll be even worse, since folks / companies can pass the buck (similar to how health insurance companies are now using it to deny folks).

Unless you're taking the "there are multiple mathematically incompatible ways to define bias" view of the topic, just do what's already known best practice for high-bureaucracy human review. Which is too define an overly-pedantic standard rubric.

Everyone knows there is bias. The problem this article highlights is that by delegating screening and human judgment to a few AI vendors those vendors will bias all employers in the same way.
