Workplace AI Bias Just Cost Companies Millions in Lawsuits

AI doesn’t make workplaces fair—it can scale bias faster than ever.

From resume screening and performance reviews to employee surveillance software, artificial intelligence is already making decisions about jobs behind the scenes. In this episode of Punching the Clock, employment attorney Mila Eratunian breaks down how workplace AI actually works, where bias hides inside algorithms, and why “it’s just the system” is no longer a legal defense.

We unpack real legal cases—including Mobley v. Workday and EEOC enforcement actions—showing how courts and regulators are responding when AI tools discriminate in hiring, discipline, or termination decisions. Spoiler: employers and tech vendors can’t automate their way out of civil rights laws.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
-How AI is used in hiring, performance reviews, and employee monitoring
-Why algorithms often reinforce bias instead of removing it
-Who is legally responsible when ai discriminates
-Whether using ai at work can actually get you fired
-What rights employees have when ai is used on the job

If a machine makes the decision, someone still owns the consequences.
