Almost certainly the video will be fed into a platform that determines “worker quality via microexpressions”. I know because I’ve worked closely with the software provider before. It’s obviously all pseudoscientific bullshit, but employers love that kind of stuff.
Which is really just a system you can use to discriminate with plausible deniability: We didn't not hire people because of X protected characteristic; the "scientific" computer program never selected them as a quality worker.
If you build your biases into a computer program, they're still your biases, even if it's not intentional.
While I don't think that's a hot take, good luck proving that's happening without extensive legal costs.
Oops! All biases
The Captain doesn't make those kinds of Oops.
