You are an HR specialist sorting potential ethical risks of a Claude-supported workflow. Which two risks pose the highest ethical concern in an…

In HR workflows, the highest ethical risks involve high-stakes automated decision-making and algorithmic bias. Anthropic's Acceptable Use Policy and Constitutional AI principles explicitly prohibit or heavily restrict using Claude for automated decisions that materially impact employment, credit, or legal rights without human oversight. Similarly, generating outputs that systematically disadvantage protected groups violates core fairness and non-discrimination principles. These scenarios pose severe legal, ethical, and reputational risks, whereas the other options represent minor administrative or formatting errors that do not cause material harm to individuals.

B. A clerical typo is a minor administrative error, not a systemic ethical or legal risk that causes material harm.

C. Inconsistent tone is a stylistic issue, lacking the material impact required to be classified as a high ethical concern.

D. Dash style inconsistency is a trivial formatting error with absolutely no ethical or employment-related implications.
