Companies using AI to find their next employee

The story that the only job in the future will be for one person who feeds a dog who watches all the robots isn't really true – there are plenty of jobs if you have what it takes to work with machines that know how to think. Augmented or artificial intelligence (AI) is taking over factory work, manual labour and most recently, a lot of the intuitive, judgment-requiring work needed in professions such as law, medicine, pharmacy and finance. AI still needs lots of humans to make it work and enhance its abilities, though – programmers, developers, managers and marketers, for example. Ironically, companies are now harnessing the powers of AI to help recruit and hire the right people to work with machine learning. And perhaps just as ironically, one of the key qualities it takes to work in AI is the human version of intelligence.
