The use of AI within HR is on the rise. This includes the use of talent and performance analytics, workplace monitoring, as well as the increasing use of recruitment technology. These rapid changes within the workplace are impacting the opportunities of millions of people and actively shaping the labour market, with the potential to worsen socio-economic inequalities. While there has been a lot written on this topic from both industry and academia, there has been very little discussion or dialogue between the two.
This project hopes to lay the foundation for future research on this topic through holding a panel discussion which includes speakers from both the tech industry and from academia. This discussion will be driven by practical questions on the challenges and opportunities of AI in HR settings, in particular AI recruitment technology. The panel will discuss how and why these technologies have emerged, how they are designed, and how they intersect with issues such as discrimination, bias, data privacy and protection, consent, and wellbeing. The event is open to the public as well as those in industry and academia.
This panel discussion aims to raise awareness about these technologies, to stimulate a dialogue between academia and industry, and to act as a catalyst for further conversation and potentially even collaboration between academia and industry surrounding AI in HR.
The panel event will take place on Zoom at 6-7pm GMT (UK time) on the 24th November 2021. You can register here or through the OII website.
