AI job hiring outperforms human hiring, but humans don't want to use it

>Dr. Grace Lordan, Associate Professor and Founding director of The Inclusion Initiative at LSE: "There is evidence that current hiring processes are plagued by cronyism and bias. It is time that humans hand over the hiring process to machines who do not have these tendencies. Biases embedded in algorithms can be mitigated somewhat with more care from those writing them, and compliance folk, who do not have skin in the hiring process can monitor the process to abate any concerns on fairness. Let's progress AI in recruitment and workplace inclusivity at the same time."

Translation: we "fixed" the bias by rebiasing the neural nets to favor "diverse" candidates. It's still racist, just against the right demographic now, and if you want those ESG goodboy points you'd better use it.

> compliance folk, who do not have skin in the hiring process

What? I do think that politics has a far too great influence already. An AI would give me a gender or race quota that represents an utopia of those that created the AI.

> to abate any concerns on fairness

I heavily doubt that this improved in recent years at all. On the contrary discrimination got far worse precisely because of allegedly "unbiased" decision makers.

There are ways to test those that are hiring you if they are under such obligations and it isn't even too difficult although you have to be careful here. Easy to spot red light because employers also like to present themselves in the best light, but it might still be a toxic company.

There is certainly a problem with corruption in politics and large corporations. Hiring is not among that because those that don't use the official route would not be affected at all.

> it is fairer and more effective than human recruiters

I don't even want to look at the metric they used. Probably quotas?

> Let's progress AI in recruitment and workplace inclusivity ...

Yeah, pretty sure about that.

Reality is politically unacceptable. In other news, water is wet. News at 11...
