Data suggests by the end of the year, nearly 70% of businesses are expected to use AI for reviewing resumes, rejecting candidates or even conducting entire interviews.
On Thursday’s edition of “Closer Look,” we continued our two-part series looking at the benefits and the harm of using AI in the job hiring process.
Hilke Schellmann, an investigative journalist and professor at New York University, was a featured guest. She talked with show host Rose Scott about her book, “The Algorithm.” The book explores how AI has invaded the workplace, calling the evolving phenomenon, “the next civil rights issue of our time.”
Schellmann, further explained how AI technology can replicate biases, therefore furthering discrimination against certain groups of people. She also shared tips she believes jobseekers can use to potentially decrease the chances of their resumes being rejected by AI.
For part one of the series, Rose previously talked with Dan Beck, the president and chief product officer at SAP SuccessFactors. He discussed what he believes are some of the pros of AI being used in the workplace.
