OpenAI’s GPT Is a Recruiter’s Dream Tool. Tests Show There’s Racial Biasbloom.bg Recruiters are eager to use generative AI, but a Bloomberg experiment found bias against job candidates based on their names alone

what’s funny about all this to me is it’s just revealing the racism of the underlying training data and wow the utter shock that the western corpus and eternal september forum content would do that to us

We in HR have ALWAYS only been as good as we let our tools let us be Garbage in = Garbage out doesn't change just because its done at scale by tech bros with a few billion to burn Anybody who uses AI to compare resumes is either incompetent or led by the incompetent

if we're going to let computer programs make decisions we need to start holding the developers accountable for the actions of the systems they create

and gun producers for actions of the guns they create ?
