How job applicants can get past AI software

Artificial intelligence is increasingly integrated into hiring processes, impacting resume screening, interviews, and employee monitoring. Despite its efficiency, many job seekers express concerns, with a Pew Research survey revealing that 71% of U.S. adults oppose AI in final hiring decisions. The reliance on AI raises issues of bias and transparency, particularly the 'black box' problem where decision-making processes remain unclear.

To mitigate these challenges, companies are encouraged to educate themselves about AI tools and conduct risk assessments to address unintended biases. Government regulation may also play a crucial role in overseeing AI applications in hiring. Job applicants can enhance their chances by making resumes AI-readable, using industry-specific buzzwords, and maintaining privacy on social media.
