Modeling Fairness in Recruitment AI via Information Flow
Brännström, Mattias, Xanthopoulou, Themis Dimitra, Jiang, Lili
Avoiding bias and understanding the real-world consequences of AI-supported decision-making are critical to address fairness and assign accountability. Existing approaches often focus either on technical aspects, such as datasets and models, or on high-level socio-ethical considerations - rarely capturing how these elements interact in practice. In this paper, we apply an information flow-based modeling framework to a real-world recruitment process that integrates automated candidate matching with human decision-making. Through semi-structured stakeholder interviews and iterative modeling, we construct a multi-level representation of the recruitment pipeline, capturing how information is transformed, filtered, and interpreted across both algorithmic and human components. We identify where biases may emerge, how they can propagate through the system, and what downstream impacts they may have on candidates. This case study illustrates how information flow modeling can support structured analysis of fairness risks, providing transparency across complex socio-technical systems.

'Odd Lots' Cohost Joe Weisenthal Has Predictions About How the AI Bubble Will Burst
Much of the US economy rests on AI's future. On this episode of podcast, cohost Joe Weisenthal breaks down why AI's impact on finance goes beyond billion-dollar investments. If you read any of WIRED's recent AI edition, you know that lots of people are spending lots of time talking about how the technology is revolutionizing pretty much everything--from coding to writing to accounting. You've also probably heard by now, from us or somebody else, that we might very well be in an economic bubble of AI origin, one wherein the billions and billions of dollars being funneled into the industry is creating an untenable economic scenario that could turn catastrophic. Of course, you may also have read that I'm really sick of being asked about AI . I'm still not sick, though, of asking other people about it--especially when they're much smarter about this stuff than I am. Enter Joe Weisenthal, the cohost of Bloomberg's fantastic podcast, and a former coworker of mine. Trust me: As someone who spent a year listening to Joe lose his mind in the office--loudly!--anytime the economy hiccuped, few people think more about our country's, and our planet's, financial circumstances than Joe does. And right now, Joe's concerns aren't strictly about what happens if or when that AI bubble bursts. His worries are more focused on what's going right and wrong with the US economy writ large. For this week's episode of, Joe and I talked about weird market indicators, US competition with China, and whether or not we should all prepare for an AI economic apocalypse. Nice to see you again. We were just talking about how [you] and I worked together--what was that, like nine years ago? I think you were there 2014, 2015, so maybe 10 years ago or something? Yeah, I worked at Bloomberg. I lasted about a year. But Joe, you were there, you were loud, you were proud, you were always very excited about the economy.

I n a recent interview, Alex Karp said that his company Palantir was "the most important software company in America and therefore in the world". He may well be right.
Interview with Mario Mirabile: trust in multi-agent systems
In a new series of interviews, we're meeting some of the PhD students that were selected to take part in the Doctoral Consortium at the European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI 2025) . During the conference in Bologna, we caught up with Mario Mirabile who is studying for his PhD in trustworthy AI and multi-agent systems at the University of Santiago de Compostela and is a Research Fellow in human-AI interaction at the University of Bologna. Mario, along with co-authors Frida Hartman and Michele Dusi, was also the winner of the ECAI-2025 Diversity & Inclusion Competition, for work entitled . This award was presented at the closing ceremony of the conference. Could you start by giving us an introduction to the topic you are working on?
Major UK project launched to tackle drug-resistant superbugs with AI
The UK is to use artificial intelligence (AI) to tackle the rising numbers of infections that have become resistant to treatment. The project - a collaboration between the Fleming Initiative and the pharmaceutical company GSK - is a battle between superbugs and supercomputers. It aims to speed up the discovery of fresh antibiotics and deliver new ways of killing other threats, including deadly fungal infections. Overusing antibiotics drives bacteria to evolve resistance to infections, which means new drugs are a priority. Drug-resistant infections are a growing problem - one known as the silent pandemic.
