There’s a lot to chew on in this short article (ht npub1th4dzg20r5lt0ks5826rcjxne0vfy4n33zjne8ke32amtv0udnwslqcem3 (npub1th4…cem3)):
https://www.bbc.com/worklife/article/20240214-ai-recruiting-hiring-software-bias-discrimination
“An AI resume screener…trained on CVs of employees already at the firm” gave candidates extra marks if they listed male-associated sports, and downgraded female-associated sports.
Bias like this is enraging, but completely unsurprising to anybody who knows half a thing about how machine learning works. Which apparently doesn’t include a lot of execs and HR folks.
