Listen "224 EXTRA Is Using AI To Select Candidates Patching A Hole In The Titanic?"
Episode Synopsis
Today's episode digs into AI based recruiting and bias.
What if we did eliminate bias, but we didn’t think it was, because of the output of the system? Even with a fully transparent AI picking candidates, would we ever get to a fully unbiased system?
Maybe, but I think that the only way we could do that is to allow the system to make the decisions and eliminate the human from the process. We all come with inherent biases that we can never eliminate – would it be ironic or not that the only way that we can eliminate bias from the system is if we exclude any humans from the decision-making process?
