Artificially intelligent hiring tools do not reduce bias or improve diversity e.g. in 2018, Amazon announced it had scrapped the development of an AI-powered recruitment engine because it could detect gender from CVs and discriminated against female applicants. The use of AI is becoming widespread – but its analysis of candidate videos or applications is like pseudoscience. AI can efficiently help increase an organisation’s diversity by filtering from a larger candidate pool – but it can also miss out on lots of good candidates if the rules and training data are incomplete or inaccurate. Where do you the use of AI in future recruitments ?
