In all honesty, if these resume screening software are the typical rush to market software products produced at the cheapest cost, the "AI" is probably some hack job ducted taped together from googling code, apis, stackexchange posts or even if there was a data scientist on the project the programmer gave up understanding the requirements in order to finish the code on time. Resulting in the resume/interview screener being basically a glorified keyword scoring filter. If the bill allows the source code to be audited it will be easy to spot inherent keywords bias like demographics or colleges. I haven't heard of interviews being recorded to run through software but it'll be easy to spot that programmer took shortcuts such as training the model on the same demographic over and over again to get through QA. QA is usually the lowest on the totem pole. Look at the lack of regulation in social media and data privacy, the current laws are already behind in America.
