This shit seems like the perfect basis for a discrimination lawsuit.

Only if the AI used discriminatory criteria from a protected class.

They CAN fire you for feeling you're likely to sue. They can't retaliate against a lawsuit, but there isn't one yet. At-will employment sucks, and the thing that protects against this is a union, not discrimination laws.
