    Why everyone is mad about New York’s AI hiring law

    MIT Technology Review, 07/10/23. The use of AI in hiring has faced criticism for automating and perpetuating racial and gender biases. This issue is widespread, with many companies relying on AI for employment decisions. To address this, NYC’s Automated Employment Decision Tool law requires employers to disclose their use of AI in hiring and undergo independent audits to prevent discrimination. While proponents see this as a positive step towards regulating AI, critics argue that the law is not enforceable or extensive enough. The effectiveness of independent auditing is also questioned. This controversy highlights the need for further regulation and standardization in AI policies. READ THE ARTICLE

    Programs to detect AI discriminate against non-native English speakers, shows study

    The Guardian, 07/10/23. According to recent research, computer programs designed to detect AI-generated work can discriminate against non-native English speakers. These programs mistakenly flag articles written by non-native English speakers as AI-generated, which can have serious consequences for students, academics, and job applicants. Despite claims of high accuracy, these detectors often fail to properly identify human-written content. The discrimination arises from the detectors’ reliance on text perplexity, leading to the incorrect classification of human work as AI-generated, especially when non-native English speakers use simpler language choices. This bias poses risks of false accusations of cheating, marginalization on the internet, and potential harm to individuals’ academic and psychological well-being. The researchers urge careful consideration of these issues to avoid discrimination and the negative impact on non-native English speakers. READ THE ARTICLE
