A federal judge in San Francisco is considering a class action lawsuit against Workday, alleging that their AI software used for screening job applicants is discriminatory. The lawsuit, brought by Derek Mobley, claims he was repeatedly passed over for jobs due to the AI software's bias. This case could set a precedent on the legal implications of using AI in hiring processes.

The lawsuit highlights the complexities and ethical considerations surrounding the use of AI in employment practices.
