Recommendation

Some large employers are turning to gamified, artificial intelligence-driven employment screenings to evaluate candidates for certain roles. This episode of the MIT Technology Review podcast – third in a four-part series on artificial intelligence and hiring – asks whether combining AI and gamification can really serve as a good matchmaker between employers and applicants. The episode delves into the hazards of the technology, including the potential for disparate impact. Anthony Green produced this episode; Jennifer Strong hosts. 

Take-Aways

  • Employers are turning to artificial intelligence-driven, gamified screenings of job applicants.
  • These systems could help make hiring decisions more objective, predictive and fair.
  • Critics are asking whether these systems actually work – and warn they could discriminate against protected groups.
