Artificial intelligence will help determine if you get your next job

With parents using artificial intelligence to scan prospective babysitters' social media and an endless slew of articles explaining how your résumé can "beat the bots," you might be wondering whether a robot will be offering you your next job. We're not there yet, but recruiters are increasingly using AI to make the first round of cuts and to determine whether a job posting is even advertised to you. Often trained on data collected about previous or similar applicants, these tools can cut down on the effort recruiters need to expend in order to make a hire. Last year, 67 percent of hiring managers and recruiters surveyed by LinkedIn said AI was saving them time. But critics argue that such systems can introduce bias, lack accountability and transparency, and aren't guaranteed to be accurate. Take, for instance, the Utah-based company HireVue, which sells a job interview video platform that can use artificial intelligence to assess candidates and, it claims, predict their likelihood to succeed in a position.
