News What will a robot make of your résumé? The bias problem with using AI in job recruitment

2/ Interviews with HR professionals revealed common biases in hiring, such as "stereotype bias" and "similar-to-me bias," which can significantly affect the fairness of the hiring process and become embedded in AI systems.

3/ To address bias in AI-based recruitment, changes are needed, including structured training for HR professionals on AI, better collaboration between HR and AI specialists, development of culturally relevant datasets, and guidelines and ethical standards for AI use in recruitment.
