The Role of AI in Employment Decisions

Artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly integral in the job application process, influencing how resumes are screened and candidates are evaluated. This automation brings efficiency, but it also raises concerns about bias, which can perpetuate discrimination similar to traditional hiring practices. Agencies like the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) are tasked with ensuring fairness, yet they are often ill-equipped to tackle the complexities of AI technologies and their implications in employment. Ultimately, while technology can streamline hiring, it also has the potential to exacerbate discrimination if not monitored closely.
