‘Objective or biased – The questionable use of Artificial Intelligence in job applications’ Research experiment and report conducted by BR (Bavarian Broadcasting) in partnership with Report München. While it ignores disability – the findings of this fascinating experiment from German public broadcaster BR, reveals weaknesses in the AI alleged science which will inevitably also pose serious threats to the life chances of persons with disabilities – worldwide. Imagine if the AI that downgrades someone’s psychometric score just for wearing glasses glimpsed a wheelchair or crutches in the video interview – imagine the impact on the scoring if the applicant were Deaf, Blind, facially disfigured, whispered, was trying to lip read, stammered, eyes move oddly due to visual impairment etc etc etc ….when just sitting in poor light causes the candidate’s scores to drop.
