  1. Intellectual property law, which governs ownership of the resume data used to build the screening tool
    Plausible but wrong: IP law concerns rights in data, not biased employment outcomes against protected classes.
  2. Product liability law, which covers injuries caused to users by a defectively designed product
    Plausible but wrong: product liability targets defect-caused physical harm, not discriminatory hiring outcomes.
  3. Nondiscrimination law, which prohibits biased treatment of protected classes in employment decisions ✓
    Correct: disparate rejection of a protected class in hiring directly implicates nondiscrimination law in the employment context.
  4. Breach notification law, which requires informing regulators after a security incident exposes personal data
    Plausible but wrong: breach notification concerns data security incidents, not biased screening of applicants.
The trap
Reframing discriminatory outcomes as data-ownership or security issues.
