This Sky News video talks about the increasing use of AI in recruiting and the concerns around its fairness and transparency.
Anthia, a makeup artist, lost her job after an AI interview. She scored perfectly on a traditional performance test, but that wasn’t enough to get her job back. The video says her case is not unique and that more than 40% of companies in 20 countries use AI for recruiting.
The video also mentions concerns that workers are not protected enough in the process. For instance, there is no oversight to ensure the AI is making fair decisions.
On the other hand, some companies believe AI improves the recruitment process by allowing them to process a larger volume of applications. The video uses the example of a recruiter who says that AI helps them find the best matching candidates faster.
The video concludes that while AI could save companies time and resources, it should be used with human oversight to avoid negative consequences for workers.
