Four Unethical Uses Of AI In Recruitment

Artificial intelligence (AI) is disrupting every industry, and the recruitment market is no exception. By lowering the cost of prediction, AI offers cheaper, faster, more efficient ways to connect people to jobs, as well as the promise of unlocking human potential. This is a big opportunity. In a world where most people are unhappy with their careers and many organizations complain about their talent gaps - for example, a recent ManpowerGroup report noted that 40% of global companies are experiencing critical talent shortages, the highest figure in a decade - technology can help us bridge the gap between supply and demand and make the job market less inefficient, just like dating apps have managed in the market of love. However, as with any technological innovation it is important to understand the ethical implications of using AI for attracting and selecting employees.
