Arshon Harper sues Sirius XM Radio over its AI resume screener
Arshon Harper, a Black job applicant, files a class action complaint against Sirius XM Radio, LLC in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. Harper alleges he applied to roughly 150 positions at Sirius XM and was rejected from all but one, despite meeting or exceeding the posted qualifications, and claims the company's AI-driven resume-screening tool (built on the iCIMS applicant tracking system) used factors like educational institutions, employment history, and zip codes as proxies for race. The complaint asserts both intentional and unintentional racial discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.
