There's a big concern here of algorithmic discrimination. How do you stop a black box algorithm from descriminating based on gender, class, age, or sexual orientation? Even if such discrimintion is inadvertant, it's a dangerous way of screening applicants.

you DeepDream the algorithm to check whether it is dreaming about a young straight white or asian male CS major with high GPA from top university.
Anyway, it is pretty cool that the next article on the same page is "What do we look for in a ‘good’ robot colleague?" Peak cultural fit.

People keep suing until they are forced to explain every decision the black box makes and a couple of defense attorneys do some data analysis and puts the prejudice in front of a jury.
Sadly, I expect this is one of those "make it to expensive to use" situations.
