Artificial Intelligence and Recruitment. Threat or Opportunity? - Social-Hire

There has been a lot of press coverage over the summer about robots and more generally Artificial Intelligence (AI) taking over the world of work. BBC news has recently run a special feature on it which included an interactive test to check if your job is at risk (Will a robot take your job?). Artificial Intelligence is the science of how to make machines that can think for themselves according to Stanford University. Increasingly, machines have been able to learn and improve their own performance to produce results that until recently was only thought possible to obtain using human intelligence and social experience. It is this achievement which has thrust AI as a concept back into the mainstream press, along with all the sensational headlines.
