Your quick-hit version of the HR Happy Hour Podcast, where Steve Boese shares the latest in Human Resources, HR tech, workplace trends, and more—all in just a few minutes. Tune in and stay on top of what’s shaping the workplace today! Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming part of the hiring process, helping employers source candidates, screen resumes, rank applicants, and even conduct interviews. But new research from Princeton University and the University of Chicago suggests AI systems may do more than inherit human bias—they may actually develop entirely new biases as they learn from experience. In this episode, Steve examines the latest research, explore what it means for employers, review the evolving legal landscape including the Workday v. Mobley lawsuit, and discuss what HR leaders and technology providers must do to ensure AI helps create a more fair, accessible, and effective hiring process.
