Talent leaders shouldn’t worry about AI harming equal employment opportunities. In fact, they should know that the right AI only enhances it.
Craig Leen, former Director of the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) at the U.S. Department of Labor, is a proponent of using AI in hiring, especially when finding equal opportunities for all workers.
Join Ligia Zamora and Jason Cerrato as they sit down with Craig Leen to get the latest take on all things AI in HR, including:
- What organizations need to look out for with new AI in HR regulations - Why HR functions should audit job requirements as they go, and correct inequities with skills-based insights - How "good AI" helps to identify people who have historically been overlooked by humans or have been subject to unconscious biasDon't miss these quotes from Craig Leen:
- “Recognize that many combinations of experiences may lead to the development of a certain skill, and by looking for that skill only, it gives someone a chance to compete for the job." - Craig Leen [12:57]
- “I would generally recommend profile masking so that when you make that selection of who to interview, you’re not making that decision in any way based on race, ethnicity, gender, disability status, or sexual orientation." - Craig Leen [20:57]
- “There’s this idea that AI is going to cause harm to certain people. The less you can explain a particular AI's outcome, the more valid that concern. The opposite is also true though, particularly for good AI.” - Craig Leen [27:03]
