AI-infused hiring programs have drawn scrutiny, most notably over whether they end up exhibiting biases based on the data they’re trained on.

Every algorithm in the world is suddenly “AI” now
It’s like 10-15 years ago suddenly all the companies were claiming they used big data. Unfortunately it’s just buzz words to entice investors or lazy reporting.
The so-called AI parses your resume looking for keywords that match the job description. They anonymize and provide a summary. I don’t think there is much room for bias. Maybe if you use crappie software that doesn’t make the summary anonymous.
BTW write your resume for the algorithm not the manager.
It depends how “bias” has been defined. The Ibram Kendi definition is unequal outcomes. Since no two groups are identical, such definitions require bias to be “unbiased.” Australia tried to employ blind recruitment and hired fewer women and minorities. That’s true unbiased recruitment, but I suspect it wouldn’t be praised today.
Isn’t the whole point of AI decision making to provide plausible deniability for these sort of things?
Depends how the law is applied…
Kinda like if a self driving car kills someone, who is liable, driver, manufacturer, seller?
I guess you pay insurance and they take on liability is another option.
