US EditionAI May Be Exposing Jobseekers to Discrimination. Here's How We Could Better Protect Them
- A report released on May 20, 2025, by the UN agency responsible for labor issues highlighted that artificial intelligence is poised to significantly alter 9.6% of jobs traditionally held by women across the globe.
- This transformation results from AI increasingly automating administrative and clerical tasks, with human involvement still required and roles radically changing rather than being eliminated.
- In Australia, 62% of organizations employed AI technologies in hiring processes—such as reviewing resumes, conducting evaluations, and facilitating video interviews—raising concerns that these tools may perpetuate bias against women, older individuals, and other marginalized populations.
- The newly elected Albanese government plans mandatory guardrails for high-risk AI applications, including a ban on fully automated HR decisions without human oversight, addressing gaps in anti-discrimination laws.
- These developments underscore the need to clarify and strengthen laws to prevent AI-based discrimination, as current safeguards are insufficient and transparency in recruitment processes remains limited.
