Can Artificial Intelligence Weed Out Unconscious Bias?

Let me preface this by saying it has been my experience, that barring the obvious bad apples, most people are basically good and want to do the right thing. So in 2018, here in our comfortable Western (and litigious) society let me submit that a hiring manager is unlikely to look at a resume and say to himself, "I don't want a woman in this role." And let me finally submit that this otherwise decent hiring manager might look at the same resume and think enthusiastically that this female or African American candidate, "would be a great fit for another position" which happens to be lower level or less technical. It is called unconscious bias and it is the subject of growing interest in both academia and human resource departments. Likewise, battling this tendency within all humans is a new trend in software for HR -- there have been many vendors coming to market with AI-driven products that promise to weed out unconscious bias from the hiring system.
