    Workday sued over AI recruitment discrimination

    Derek Mobley alleges Workday's AI recruitment software discriminates by race, age and disability, rejecting him from over 100 applications. The case raises whether the company can prove how its AI made hiring decisions.

    Why it matters for evidence: Article 12 requires high-risk recruitment AI to log events for traceability. If Workday can't show how decisions were made, the defence gets harder.

    AI-generated content challenges evidence authenticity

    OpenAI and Meta told a US federal judicial panel that AI audio and video are increasingly hard to distinguish from authentic content, raising challenges for evidence authenticity and organisations' ability to prove what their AI actually did.

    Why it matters for evidence: Swedish courts assess evidence freely. If you can't show what your AI produced or whether content is authentic, the other side's version may prevail.

    Academy explains DORA's five pillars for finance

    An academy outlines DORA's digital operational resilience pillars, including ICT third-party risk and ISO standards. DORA requires financial entities to protect logs against manipulation and unauthorised access.

    Why it matters for evidence: Article 12(2)(d) of the DORA technical standard says logs must be protected against tampering. How you prove they weren't changed is the evidence question.
