Open source AI hiring bots favor men, leave women hanging by the phone
Open source AI models are more likely to recommend men than women for jobs, particularly the high-paying ones, a new study has found.
While bias in AI models is a well-established risk, the findings highlight the unresolved issue as the usage of AI proliferates among recruiters and corporate human resources departments.
“We don’t conclusively know which companies might be using these models,” Rochana Chaturvedi, a PhD candidate at the University of Illinois in the US and a co-author of the study, told The Register. “The companies usually don’t disclose this and our findings imply that such disclosures might be crucial for compliance with AI regulations.”
