Lawsuit Claims that Workday AI Disqualifies Certain Applicants in Screening Process

A Black man is suing Workday Inc., claiming their artificial intelligence disqualifies applicants who are Black, disabled, or over the age of 40 at a disproportionate rate.

The suit, which was filed Tuesday in the US District Court for the Northern District of California, claims that as a result of the discriminatory screening process, Derek Mobley (40) has not been hired for any jobs he’s applied for.

Mobley allegedly applied to 80-100 positions since 2018, all of which use Workday as a screening tool. Mobley, who also has a bachelor’s degree in finance from Morehouse College and an associate’s degree in network systems administration from ITT Technical Institute, was denied employment every time he applied using Workday.
