an AI resume screener had been trained on CVs of employees already at the firm, giving people extra marks if they listed “baseball” or “basketball” – hobbies that were linked to more successful staff, often men. Those who mentioned “softball” – typically women – were downgraded.

Marginalised groups often “fall through the cracks, because they have different hobbies, they went to different schools”

    I get weeding out the people who answer the question incorrectly.

    You seem to place a lot of emphasis on appearance though which is shitty. Hopefully AI will help with that sort of bias as it’s pretty irrelevant. I get if you’re a boomer that appearance is important, but its also the easiest thing to change. If you pass all the other criteria appearance shouldn’t matter as you can easily just buy a suit/comb your hair.

        I am amused by the amount of hate youbare getting for pretty non controversial opinions.
