Recruiting Future Podcast: Ep 605: Can AI Be Biased? Legal Implications for Hiring (Keith Sonderling)
Autor: Matt Alder
Talent Acquisition stands on the edge of revolution, with AI tools promising to make recruiting faster and more effective. But will it make hiring fairer? Recruiting and HR are already a key focus for governments as they develop legislation for AI, and employers are already at risk of breaking existing laws if they use AI tools that discriminate against protected groups of people.
Recruiting Future Podcast by Matt Alder delves into this critical inquiry, featuring Commissioner Keith Sonderling of The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) as our distinguished guest. Join us as we explore the benefits and potential pitfalls of employing AI in talent acquisition, shedding light on the essential considerations for employers to ensure compliance with existing laws, and the upcoming regulations that will shape the future of AI implementation in hiring practices globally.
In the interview, they discuss:
• Background context of The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)
• Bridging the gap between policy-making and HR practice
• What advantages does AI bring to talent acquisition?
• The potential for technology to make clearer, more transparent hiring decisions than humans
• The dangers AI poses if incorrectly implemented
• How AI is used in hiring already falls under existing employer equality legislation.
• Who is liable, the employer or the AI vendor?
• The EU AI Act and New York City Law 144
• Are there common themes in new AI legislation being developed around the world?
• Reskilling, upskilling and changing dynamics in the workforce
• What does the future look like?
