AI In Hr: Don't Be A Cautionary Tale
How much have you thought about the ethical implications of AI in HR? It’s not alarmist to think that AI will enable HR to discriminate more and in new ways! After all, Amazon had to scrap their recruitment and selection AI because it was biased against women. This week I, again, spoke with Megan Marie Butler about AI in HR. She speaks plainly and is quite practical in her assessment of AI in HR. She is doing her PhD in the space, but is so frank and easy to understand! Her insights: 🎉 Most AI is legal! 👮♀️ It is all legal because there is so little regulation. 😩 Since it is unregulated, we can unknowingly cause significant social harm if we are not careful. Causing social harm could land us in legal hot water. 🤦🏾♂️ Megan provided a few examples of how AI is creating new classes of people to discriminate against. 😬 Regulation is coming. Even so, we are going to learn the hard way. Don’t be the cautionary tale.
