In episode 100, Coffey talks with Kate Bischoff about the legal and ethical considerations surrounding the use of artificial intelligence in employee selection. They discuss the recent impact of AI on HR; concerns around relying on AI as a decision-maker rather than as a tool to help make decisions; how bias gets introduced into AI-assisted processes; monitoring for bias and disparate impact when implementing AI systems in employee selection; emerging regulations for AI, including New York City’s regulation of the use of automated hiring tools; what an AI Bill of Rights might look like; the importance of carefully vetting technology partners before implementing their tools; and the potential risks of using ChatGPT in preparing HR documents.
