Council Post: Explainability Is Key To Unlocking The Next Era Of AI

Abakar Saidov is co-founder and CEO of Beamery, a leader in talent lifecycle management. In the ongoing effort to help businesses address talent shortages and close skills gaps by developing personalized career paths for employees, artificial intelligence (AI) is being increasingly relied upon by time-pressured HR managers and recruiters. With new legislation and regulations being introduced around the use of AI in recruitment, explainability becomes key. By focusing on explainability, the business user can discuss, explain, review and audit the decision-making process, ensuring that their use of AI in talent and recruitment remains ethical. And whilst AI can analyze information and return recommendations to the user, it's important that the human in the loop takes responsibility for making the final decision.
