Some Fortune 500 companies are using tools that deploy artificial intelligence to weed out job applicants. But is this practice fair? In this episode of Moving Upstream, WSJ’s Jason Bellini investigates.

The technology removes that there is you and your personal life and then there is the work you. So it doesn't matter what you do at the job. your personal life will affect it.
This will cause companies to hire just the same people over and over and big companies will be even more boring. Diverse pool of people and perspectives bring even more improvements
AI will just hire other AI.
i like the idea
What was their model based on? (i.e. age range, gender, race, introvert/extrovert & etc.) And how big is the sample pool?
5:58, how do you remove human bias when humans program these things? And the diversity of the sample pool contributes to the preference o the model.
it could also help to screen out ugly people like me.
She's white. Get ready to be sued.
Using robots to hire people, whom they plan on replacing with robots anyway…''genius''
Love the use of the word "may". What will happen is that people will figure out how to "hack" the AI. AI isn't really AI, it's just clever algorithms that look for certain data points. "AI" is far from becoming really Intelligent.
the method is terrible, because it assumes that the only right way of doing the job is the way it is currently being done, what if there is a better way, and someone knows it, if they take that test, they will score lower than the current way, even though they do better in the actual job, this is rubbish as it stands. (and extremely worrying that companies are still using it, if it continues, it could lead to stagnation(or at least severe slowing) of innovation, which is not a good thing.
My anxiety just went through the freaking roof.
Nice development in the world of "Knowledge is limited" (Jiddhu Krishnamurti, we Brockwoodian used to lived together while he was still alive as: Krishna Ji). Thank you for sharing this video to some one used to be one of those lunatics, but still interested and delving into this AI notion.
i suck at interviews already, why do you wanna make this harder for me

this is great for the corp – not for people.
bye bye hr (traitors) – your value is going, going, gone?!
Botox and fillers are very common. So much for measuring micro facial expressions…
it feels so fake.
Funny thing is, by looking for candidates that match a certain pattern among your "top" performers, you are ingraining more strongly the stereotypes that the company already has that determined who are the top performers. So, instead of removing stereotypes, I strongly suspect that you are enforcing stereotypes far more. I would consider this to be a weakness in a company doing this from an investment stand point. The reasoning behind this thought is that as you try to more closely match your sample population that you have determined is your best, you selectively weed people out who might approach problems from a view point that your selected population would not, leaving you more likely to be blind to situations. I would think that a far better use might be to weed out individuals who have undesirable traits, such as swearing, poor grooming, or other negative personal traits. I do see this becoming a potential obstacle to the ADA as people with facial or speech issues would be likely to not match the standard normalized traits. Just my thinking.
AI to find the best slaves that will help companies to compete netween themselves
But who wants to do customer support ? Nobody wants this job ! It’s a horrible dead end job with absolitely no perspectives ! If they shall use AI to recrute customer services, there will be nobody to answer our calls ! Lol
Not everyone an expert at the beginning of their career. They will learn from their mistake and grow to fit into their role. What if that person doesn't have a mimic? ?
Made by man?… perfectly imperfect.
i want nothing to do with this!!! gonna go live in the woods!! bye :'D
I wonder if the managers and software "engineers" that came up with this system could be hired by the same computers they created.
Computers cannot form an opinion about a person. That requires emotion and reasoning, which computers will never have.
Sure, they can come to a consensus based on the data it collects but that consensus is based on what the computer is programed to collect.
Humans are more than the sum total of their parts. A computer can never comprehend what a human feels when walking barefoot on the beach holding the hand of a loved one.
How creepy
So what if you don't have any social media, or if you use it anonymously?
But then I will just make my own AI to deceive their AI lol.
The madness that is human. Those very people who comes up with this AI job recrutement tools should put under this very same methods to determine their worthy.
ha ha I'll try anything once…bring it on
soon we will have AI masters and we will be slaves
The AI was winking at you? Ha, that would be so creepy from an actual person. A robot that looks 12 years old is winging at me. WTH.
The facial expressions that one person makes is likely inappropriate for a Nother person to make. I’m pretty sure that as a 38-year-old male, I do not want to make the facial expressions of a 22-year-old female.
The pencil and paper personality assessment industry has been held accountable for decades to provide valid and unbiased results in determining fit for countless job profiles. This continued when the assessments went online. So when do we see this become a priority in AI-based observations and decision-making? Basically, the same EEOC and APA rules and ethics apply here, no matter the medium being used. So, big data, show me the coefficients!
-"you got 37%"
Jason:"oh that's good, right?"
he did 30 interviews out of which 10 where video interviews.
Jason: " half of his interviews where video interviews" xD
Wow is Jason bad at math xD
7:25 and 7:31 are my favorite parts of the video 😉
You wanted facial expressions
Skylab time? Hello Arnold do you want my jacket, my gun and my boots.
Have one eye damaged as result of surgery, my face become slightly assymetrical and my facial expressions different from algorithm. Will be discriminated by this robot. On another side human also will not hire me for the same reasons, age and appearance.
Nope. The future is bright the future is biased, because people are . Computers do as you request, not 100% A.I.
Given AI technology is at its infancy, the use of AI for serious decisions seems very premature, naive and perhaps insulting to some in situations like hiring. I find the news concerning. Only the ones selling it as a solution benefit (profit) from the idea.
more like a horoscope gambling with peoples lives
Nothing good will come from this. AI will destroy the future.
Let me guess, the "sociologist" would prefer the government forces all hiring be based on marxism and "egalitarian" identity politics.
So, this is a part of the future of interviewing. We go from face to face to AI. If or when the entire business world gets on board with this tech, then humanity is in for a huge rude awakening in trying to get a job or into a career
Most people set up their social media in accordance with their inner selves. So to capture person laity based on social media sites makes sense. Yet, then their is privacy, the law, discrimination and stereotyping.
junk
