You don't need AI for this
This is just someone climbing aboard the "band waggon du jour". Resumes are routinely scanned by "artificially unintelligent" software, software notorious for weeding any but the most carefully written resumes that are designed to skirt around this filtering process. Certainly in the technical field we've learned to bypass the resume submission and use either personal contacts or headhunters, just submitting a resume to HR will get it roundfiled.
My guess is that in my state (CA) many companies would jump at the opportunity to employ a "black, over 40" person, especially if they were doing government work since it helps with the HR box checking. This particular case doesn't look promising as an example since in HR speak he'd be a weak/marginal candidate with likely 'issues' with his work history.
(Incidentally, although its popular to use the word 'disability' for all sorts of nuisances from a federal disability perspective you have to be pretty much dead to qualify. Being depressed because you can't get a job definitely doesn't qualify.) (Also, only 80 - 100 applications? A week? The EDD isn't quite as brutal as the UK's DWP but they shares quite a bit of DNA.)
