AI is making hiring decisions, denying loans, and flagging employees for termination — with no meaningful human oversight. Regulators are coming. Fines are real. We score your exposure before they do.

How AI screening tools are rejecting qualified candidates at scale — with zero human review, zero accountability, and zero legal compliance.
Right now, AI systems are screening résumés, approving loans, flagging employees, and denying insurance claims — millions of decisions per day, with no meaningful human oversight. Regulators have noticed. Have you?
Your AI screening tool rejected 10,000 applicants last month. How many did a human actually review? If the answer is "none" — and for most companies it is — you're already in violation.
Average human review time for AI-generated hiring decisions: 2.3 seconds. That's not human-in-the-loop. That's a rubber stamp with a heartbeat. Regulators will see right through it.
EU AI Act: up to €35M per violation. NYC: $1,500 per violation per day. Colorado: AG enforcement plus private right of action. Illinois: $1,000 per violation. The fines stack. The lawsuits are coming.
Companies are already paying the price for AI decisions made without meaningful human oversight.
Applicants filed a class action alleging Workday's AI screening tools discriminated based on race, age, and disability — rejecting qualified candidates at scale with no human review.
$365K settlement after the EEOC found iTutorGroup's AI recruiting software automatically rejected applicants over 55. The algorithm encoded age discrimination — and nobody was watching.
After backlash from AI researchers and civil rights groups, HireVue dropped facial analysis from its video interview AI. The reputational damage was already done.
AI governance legislation is accelerating faster than any compliance framework in history. Here's what's already active.
High-risk AI requires conformity assessments, bias testing, human oversight documentation. Prohibited practices enforcement began Feb 2025.
Automated employment decision tools must undergo independent bias audit. No audit = no compliance. Applies to hiring, promotion, termination.
First comprehensive state AI law. Impact assessments, risk management, human oversight of consequential decisions required.
Training data disclosure. Pending bills targeting automated decisions in housing, employment, finance. The largest AI market in the US.
Employers using AI to analyze video interviews must notify candidates, explain AI function, obtain consent.
NIST framework becoming de facto standard. Federal contractors must demonstrate AI governance. The floor rises everywhere.
Answer 5 yes/no questions to get a rough estimate of where you stand. This isn't a substitute for a full assessment — but it'll tell you if you should be worried.
We don't check boxes. We measure whether your human oversight is real — or performance. Every score maps directly to active regulatory requirements.
Who actually holds the decision? We trace the chain from AI recommendation to final action. If no human can override, you score zero.
If humans never override the AI, they're not in the loop. We measure override rates, patterns, and whether overrides are even technically possible.
A human reviewing 500 decisions per hour can't meaningfully evaluate any of them. We measure review time, complexity ratios, and alert fatigue indicators.
When the AI flags uncertainty, does a human actually see it? We audit escalation protocols, response times, and resolution quality.
Statistical analysis of AI outputs across protected classes. Disparate impact testing. Selection rate analysis per NYC LL 144 standards.
Can you prove compliance to a regulator tomorrow? We assess logging, record retention, and whether your documentation survives legal scrutiny.

"Millions of people are being ghosted by machines — rejected by algorithms that no human ever reviewed, governed by laws that don't exist yet, with consequences that are already irreversible. The absence of accountability isn't a bug. It's the design. We built HITL Score to change that."
Free 30-minute exposure assessment. We'll tell you exactly how many of your AI systems are legally non-compliant, what your HITL Score is today, and what it'll cost to fix it — before a regulator tells you first.
