December's Question If AI can increase the risk of bias in hiring processes, why are so many companies using it?
Answer: There’s no question that companies are looking to increase the efficiency of their recruiting and hiring processes, including using automated employment decision tools (AEDT) that are enabled by AI. While such tools can help employers analyze large volumes of candidate data, identifying and hiring top talent requires a nuanced understanding of whether an individual is the right fit for a position. This is especially true when hiring and retaining diverse candidates.
The risks related to disability bias in AEDT are made more complex because disabilities are highly diverse and virtually impossible to analyze at scale, the data available on employees is usually flawed, and AI takes shortcuts whenever possible. Therefore, employers should research any AEDT they plan to buy and implement. Check out our new report, Disability-Led Innovation: Artificial Intelligence & Automated Hiring Practices, to learn more about inclusive AI-enabled hiring tools. |
