Artificial intelligence, hiring and the law

It might not be a surprise that some city governments are not only unnerved by it, they're regulating it. Some government officials are understandably worried about artificial intelligence programs taking away jobs -- but lately, some municipalities appear to be concerned that AI is being used to help people get jobs. For instance, New York City and the District of Columbia are among locales that are enacting or considering laws to restrict how employers utilize artificial intelligence programs in hiring and promoting decisions. If you're unaware of what is transpiring in the world of human resources, AI and city governments, here's what is at stake. Increasingly, recruiters and human resources departments have been using AI tools to help find job candidates by performing repetitive and time-consuming tasks like analyzing resumes, arranging interviews with job candidates, and scheduling job assessments.
