Artificially intelligent analysis of job applications or videos is "pseudoscience", researchers say.

A blog examining the legal implications of the use of AI in the workplace.

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) presents risks to equality, potentially embedding bias and discrimination. Auditing tools are often promised as a solution. However our new research, which examines tools for auditing AI used in recruitment, finds these tools are often inadequate in ensuring compliance with UK Equality Law, good governance and best practice. We argue in this report that a more comprehensive approach than technical auditing is needed to safeguard equality in the use of AI for hiring, which shapes access to work. Here, we present first steps which could be taken to achieve this. We also publish a prototype AI Equality Impact Assessment which we plan to develop and pilot.

This year, in honor of Black History Month, the Codecademy Team is celebrating Black leaders that are working to build a more inclusive, more welcoming, and more diverse tech industry. It's important to celebrate Black people in all our roles and diversity. For UK Black History Month (BHM), we're keen to see similar profiling of technologists who want to raise their visibility, so we can celebrate their work.
