RAC Spotlight: HiredScore and the Ethics of AI in Hiring

Today, we’re highlighting one of the important talks happening June 4th at the Recruitment Automation Conference (RAC): a discussion on the ethics of AI in hiring between Athena Karp, CEO & founder of HiredScore, and Paul Root Wolpe, the Raymond Schinazi Professor of Bioethics and Director, Center for Ethics at Emory University.

The introduction of artificial intelligence into recruiting has been an impactful change over the past several years – and one that is only growing in impact. This is a timely conversation with a leader in the hiring technology space and one of the nation’s prominent ethicists. Their talk is happening at 1:45 pm ET.

In a separate presentation (at 12:10 pm ET), HiredScore will be diving into a real world case study of their AI solution, and attendees will be able to see how these underlying questions are being addressed in practice.

The Recruitment Automation Conference (RAC) is a free-to-attend fully-virtual conference for everyone in the recruiting and talent acquisition community – a place to come together and learn about how technology is impacting recruiting today and tomorrow. Get your free ticket by clicking here.
