The American Civil Liberties Union filed a complaint alleging that Aon Consulting's AI-powered hiring tools, marketed as bias-free, discriminate against candidates based on disability and race, despite claims of fairness and increasing diversity. Aon's personality test, video interviewing system, and cognitive assessment service were found likely to discriminate, prompting the ACLU to call for an investigation by the US FTC and necessary relief for affected parties. The ACLU highlighted the systemic issues AI tools pose in hiring discrimination, particularly impacting marginalized individuals, urging for federal action on the matter.
