Job seekers are increasingly being asked to pass a series of tests in the form of AI games just to land an interview with a hiring manager. If you’re applying for a job, you listen to this episode of the #InMachinesWeTrust podcast. Thread. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pla…
Sally (a pseudonym to protect her identity) is a job seeker, a military veteran & a Black woman with a grad degree in information with specialties in data science & interaction design. She fails to see how solving a timed puzzle has any real bearing on her potential to succeed.
She says she’s tried everything to succeed at these games but without success. She was rejected from multiple jobs she applied to that required these games.
.@Cognify is a company that makes some of these games, and we hear from some of the lead creators and distributors of these tools. We share feedback from job seekers like Sally.
Some advocates and experts worry that hiring involving these kinds of games might exclude people with disabilities.
🎧 LISTEN to this episode of #InMachinesWeTrust exploring how AI hiring tools pose risks to workforce equality and who might get left behind in the process. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pla…

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
