I lost my job after AI recruitment tool assessed my body language, says make-up artist::A make-up artist says she lost her job at a leading brand after an AI recruitment tool that used facial recognition technology marked her down for her body language.
Absolute bigotry against neurodivergent people. Normalizing body language is exactly the sort of prejudice neurodivergent people have to put up with all the time.
To paraphrase Groucho Marx, I don’t want to work anywhere that would use an AI body language analyzer in their recruitment pipeline.
No way a place that does that has a good culture.
Well, at least not very soon, for sure.
May have had a good culture, then the C-class jackasses decided to destroy it. And that’s being optimistic (my default is cynicism).
This isn’t new. Recruiting firms such as HireVue have been pushing out “AI” interviewing platforms which automatically judge your body language, fashion choices, tone of language etc since at least 2018.
Companies are using AI to stop bias in hiring. They could also make discrimination worse. - https://www.vice.com/en/article/qvq9ep/companies-are-using-ai-to-stop-bias-in-hiring-they-could-also-make-discrimination-worse
This shit seems like the perfect basis for a discrimination lawsuit.
Only if the AI used discriminatory criteria from a protected class.
They CAN fire you for feeling you’re likely to sue. They can’t retaliate against a lawsuit, but there isn’t one yet. At-will employment sucks, and the thing that protects against this is a union, not discrimination laws.
