Unconscious bias and artificial intelligence in recruitment and selection
Is AI making recruitment more efficient and less biased by taking humans out of the equation, or are we embedding more biases in the process?
At this event we took a critical look at the extent to which unconscious bias has an impact on recruitment and selection and what the impact is of artificial intelligence on these processes.
Our guest presenter, Andreas Leibbrandt, Professor of Economics at Monash University discussed the potential and the pitfalls of AI-based recruitment and selection technologies for workplace diversity and inclusion. Andreas also outlined the research that Monash University and DCA, along with partners Hudson RPO, are working on to better understand the impact of unconscious bias and artificial intelligence on recruitment and selection.
DCA CEO Lisa Annese joined Andreas and our guest panel to discuss the pros and cons of how we use artificial intelligence for recruitment and selection.
Our panel included:
- Kimberley Hubble, CEO APAC, Hudson RPO
- Barbara Hyman, CEO, PredictiveHire.com
- Cathy Brown, Director, Policy & Projects, DCA
- Andreas Leibbrandt, Professor of Economics, Monash University.
