Artificial intelligence (AI) has become increasingly prevalent in the hiring process, with companies using algorithms to sift through resumes and select candidates for interviews. While AI has the potential to make the hiring process more efficient and objective, it also has the potential to perpetuate social biases that exist in society.
Social biases are attitudes and stereotypes that people hold about certain groups of people based on their race, gender, age, or other characteristics. These biases can influence decision-making, even when people are not aware of them. In the context of hiring, social biases can lead to discrimination against certain groups of people, such as women, people of color, and older workers.
