The host and investor of Shark Tank, KevinO'Learywarned pro-Palestinian student protestors that there will be lots of "consequences for all those people" when they start looking for jobs.
The business reality TV star stated that businesses can employ AI technology to evaluate applications and exclude individuals who have participated in demonstrations.
"Here's your resume with a picture of you burning a flag. See that one. That goes in this pile over here, cause I can get the same person's talent in this pile that's not burning anything," O'Leary told Fox News on Wednesday (May 01).
"There's plenty of consequences for all those people. Even an image that far away, AI can generate who they are bythe waythe body moves. I can't believe the stuff I find in background checks now. These people are screwed," he added.
