The link about electric cars and pollution is incomplete, because it only talks about CO2. It's true that there's no benefit from moving CO2 emissions from car exhaust pipes to power station chimneys, but there's lots of benefit from moving other pollutants from ground level in city centres to high up in the countryside.

That face-scanning app is an open invitation for discrimination lawsuits, especially if the AI was trained on nothing but white european faces.
So if the employer’s ideal candidate is already biased against certain characteristics, HireVue’s platform would only embed these biases further, potentially making discriminatory practices a part of the process. Human recruiters would need to recognize their own personal biases before they could stop feeding them into HireVue
AHAHAHAHA no.
