Shikirah and Byron engaged in a conversation about the social implications of AI in job applications. Shikirah emphasized the bias in automated tracking services and suggested using key terms from job descriptions to help resumes reach a human recruiter. They also highlighted the importance of diverse data to consider different candidates. Byron shared their thoughts on the inefficiency of manually reviewing job applications and proposed the use of AI to streamline the process. However, they raised concerns about potential lack of human consideration and bias in the screening process. Both agreed that AI systems can mimic human intelligence, providing a human factor that might be missing in purely software-based screening. Byron expressed concerns about the lack of preparation for applicants and the potential for bias in the AI system. They also noted that AI systems may not always align with a company's specific needs and interests.
