The Wired article reveals that McDonald’s AI hiring chatbot, Olivia—built by Paradox.ai—exposed over 64 million records of job seekers’ personal data, including resumes, contact information, and chat transcripts, due to shockingly poor security. This breach highlights the unchecked risks of using automated tools in hiring without proper transparency, oversight, or accountability. It underscores the urgency of legislation like the TJAAA, which would require that job seekers be informed of AI use, allowed to opt out, and protected from having their data misused—especially in connection with misleading or inactive job ads.
