If you’ve applied for a job lately, it’s all but guaranteed that your application was reviewed by software, in most cases, before a human ever laid eyes on it. This is a thread about episode one of our four-part investigation into the world of automated hiring.
In the first podcast episode of this series, we speak with the CEOs of @ZipRecruiter and @CareerBuilder, and one of the architects of @LinkedIn’s algorithmic job-matching system, to explore how AI is increasingly playing job matchmaker. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hir…
Most of the Fortune 500 already use some kind of AI to screen job applications, says @HilkeSchellmann, who reported this episode and wrote the accompanying story below. That includes @Unilever, @McDonalds, and @IBM and many, many other large companies. technologyreview.com/2021/06/23/102…
Thanks to job sites like LinkedIn and ZipRecruiter, these large companies are drowning in millions of job applications a year. They need a solution that scales.
So, how might you, as a job seeker, experience artificial intelligence? Podcast host @StrongReporter explains.
But there’s a problem with this technology...
Algorithms have a history of biasing the opportunities they present to people by gender, race...and in at least one case, whether you played lacrosse in high school.
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

For the day's last #Future Compute session are going to be talking about cybersecurity. There is never a dull moment in this space and we’ve got a very good collection of smart people to help us make some sense of it.
Our first guest is @likethecoins, the director of intelligence @redcanary. Katie is immensely talented and respected in the cyber threat intelligence field and that’s exactly what we’ll be talking about here today, her perspective on the threat landscape. #FutureCompute
@HowellONeill calls the last few months of a uniquely busy time in cyber, with Russia's invasion of Ukraine. @likethecoins calls the invasion a very localized cyber conflict. We haven't seen global implications yet, she says. #FutureCompute

For our last chapter of #EmTechDigital sessions, we'll hear from AI researchers and then to close, David Ferrucci from @elementalcog will pull back the curtain on AI.
First up: @agrimgupta92 from Stanford is interested in how the form of a machine changes its ability to learn, shifting the focus away from learning algorithms operating by themselves and onto learning combined with a kind of bodily evolution. #EmTechDigital
@agrimgupta92 .@strwbilly covered how Agrim's work could unlock AI for robots late last year. #EmTechDigital technologyreview.com/2021/10/19/103…

We're back for the last #EmTechDigital chapter of the day, hosted by @StrongReporter. We'll be talking about one of the hottest things going in the field right now: generative AI.
@StrongReporter Generative AI is what we mean when we talk about creative AI or AI art--including technologies that can draw and pains or that can gather and use information to write things like articles. #EmTechDigital
@mikebhaley of @autodesk says no design problem exists by itself. And generative AI can be used to solve those problems. #EmTechDigital
