not really surprised, as certain jobs industry will hire certain demographics over others like, any receptionist jobs , they will screen out any male names. Also besides that so many people have reported on other forums that AI effectively locked them out of the field altogether after graduation, hence why you see reviews of certain universities how terrible the education/job finding was.

So their source that 73% of global businesses use AI, at some point in the hiring process, is a site called CPA Practice Advisor who source their claim from MyPerfectResume™ which honestly it sounds kind of bogus to me.

Can that many people really be this stupid?

Yes, and even more can be lazy with annoying processes where they dont see the direct consequences oft their actions when they trust the system

If it's the cheapest modus operandi the bean counters can find to accomplish the task, you bet they can.

Theres nothing cheap about hundreds of discrimination lawsuits, lmao.

AI racial bias is not a new thing.

They're outsourcing the logic to the AI provider, so they can pass the buck and proclaim innocence - in some cases it's even likely true.
