The Risks of AI in Hiring Practices

AI hiring tools can perpetuate historic company and algorithmic bias, discriminate against an applicant's gender or age, and erode the laws in our democracies. Organizations should implement safeguards such as auditing systems designed to detect bias and conducting thorough reviews of the data sets used by AI learning. Vendors should also provide transparency within their algorithms, including how they were trained, what data was used, and what assumptions were made. Permitting AI to fully control an entire company’s hiring processes should never be acceptable.
