Cases We're Tracking
Twelve so far, spanning the US, UK, the Netherlands, and Austria - lawsuits, regulatory complaints, and administrative rulings. Each case gets the same treatment: a sourced timeline, background on who's involved, and why it matters - built from primary documents (court orders, agency filings, regulator rulings) wherever we can get them, clearly marked when we can't.
Mobley v. Workday, Inc.
A federal lawsuit asking whether Workday - the AI hiring-software vendor, not just the employers using it - can be held directly responsible for discrimination. Certified as a nationwide collective; roughly 14,500 people have joined.
View case timeline →ACLU v. Aon
The ACLU's FTC complaint and EEOC charge against Aon Consulting, arguing its "bias-free" hiring assessments actually discriminate by disability and race - and that marketing them as bias-free is itself deceptive.
View case timeline →EEOC v. iTutorGroup
The EEOC's first-ever AI hiring discrimination lawsuit: automated recruiting software allegedly auto-rejected women 55+ and men 60+. Settled for $365,000 in 2023, without an admission of wrongdoing.
View case timeline →Kistler v. Eightfold AI
A class action arguing Eightfold AI's applicant "Match Score" functions as an undisclosed background-check-style report - a different legal theory than Mobley's, testing consumer-reporting law instead of anti-discrimination law.
View case timeline →Austria's AMS/AMAS Algorithm
A government jobseeker-scoring algorithm banned by Austria's privacy regulator in 2020, fought over for five years, and ultimately cleared by the courts in 2025 - after the system itself was already dead.
View case timeline →Manjang v. Uber Eats
A UK Employment Tribunal case over Uber Eats's facial recognition ID checks, which repeatedly failed to verify a Black courier and led to his removal from the app. Settled in 2024.
View case timeline →Drivers v. Uber and Ola
Dutch GDPR lawsuits over algorithmic ride assignment, pricing, and driver deactivation - not hiring, but a landmark test of Europe's automated-decision-making rules. Drivers won on appeal in 2023.
View case timeline →ACLU v. Intuit & HireVue
The ACLU's civil rights complaint against Intuit and HireVue, arguing an AI video interview's speech-recognition technology discriminated against a Deaf, Pawnee employee denied a promotion.
View case timeline →Baker v. CVS Health Corp
A Massachusetts lawsuit testing whether CVS's AI-scored 'honesty' interview - built on facial-expression analysis - counts as an illegal lie detector test under a decades-old state law.
View case timeline →Harper v. Sirius XM Radio
A federal lawsuit alleging Sirius XM's AI resume screener used educational institutions, employment history, and zip codes as proxies for race - a different fact pattern from Mobley's, since the employer itself, not the software vendor, is the defendant.
View case timeline →Deyerler v. HireVue Inc.
An Illinois biometric-privacy class action - not a discrimination case - arguing HireVue's AI video-interview platform captured applicants' facial geometry without the consent and notice Illinois law requires.
View case timeline →Does 1-26 v. Meta Platforms, Inc.
A different category from every other case here: not hiring or screening, but AI-assisted selection of who gets laid off - 26 employees allege Meta's internal AI tools flagged people on protected medical, family, or pregnancy leave as low performers.
