The August 29 editionThere are very few professions or industries where artificial intelligence is not changing some aspect of what we do or how we do it. It is also impacting how we actually get jobs, with AI tools, in some cases, replacing the traditional CV and interview. This particular practice generated much discussion earlier this month when Kmart joined other Australian companies, such as Woolworths, Bunnings and Qantas, in using AI in the early stages of the recruitment process for some roles. What this can mean is that applications and initial interviews are no longer assessed and conducted by a person, but by AI tools. There is much conjecture about whether this will act to positively iron out human bias in the hiring process or merely create new inequities. The question at the heart of changes that result from AI is usually: will they enhance how we live? Today’s lead story looks at how the uptake of AI tools among companies and organisations is playing out for those seeking work – as well as how job-hunters can use AI to their advantage. – Melissa Stevens, editor12 storiesSaveYou have reached your maximum number of saved items.Remove items from your saved list to add more.ShareAI‘The bots just botting each other’: In the world of jobseeking, an absurd future is upon usAI tools are becoming increasingly common in the hiring process – for both employers and jobseekers.
