  1. They apply to AI-driven hiring, so a tool that produces discriminatory outcomes can create unlawful employment bias. ✓
    Correct: nondiscrimination law covers employment decisions regardless of whether a human or an AI tool makes them.
  2. They never apply to AI-driven hiring, because only decisions made directly by human recruiters are ever covered by law.
    Wrong: the law follows the decision, not the tool used to make it.
  3. They apply only when the tool is explicitly programmed to use a protected characteristic as a direct scoring input value.
    Plausible but wrong: disparate impact can arise without protected attributes being direct inputs.
  4. They apply solely to the software vendor, so the employer that uses the tool bears no legal responsibility for outcomes.
    Wrong: the employer using the tool retains responsibility for discriminatory outcomes.
The trap
Assuming AI-made hiring decisions fall outside nondiscrimination law or shift liability entirely to the vendor.
