Taking a hard look in the mirror to examine bias – humanity vs. artificial intelligence (AI)

I'm amazed at how rapidly the process of hiring employees and looking for work is changing. For generations, a big part of that process has been a person's connections. Who you know has been as important as what you know. Services such as LinkedIn were created in part to help us manage our connections and find out who might be able to help us get a foot in the door to pursue a desired position. However, this network effect has always held inherent bias.
