Designed by the recruiting-technology firm HireVue, the system uses
candidates' computer or cellphone cameras to analyze their facial
movements, word choice and speaking voice before ranking them against
other applicants based on an automatically generated "employability"
score. HireVue's "AI-driven assessments" have become so pervasive in
some industries, including hospitality and finance, that universities
make special efforts to train students on how to look and speak for
best results. More than 100 employers now use the system, including
Hilton, Unilever and Goldman Sachs, and more than a million job
seekers have been analyzed.
"It's a profoundly disturbing development that we have proprietary
technology that claims to differentiate between a productive worker
and a worker who isn't fit, based on their facial movements, their
tone of voice, their mannerisms," said Meredith Whittaker, a
co-founder of the AI Now Institute, a research center in New York.
"It's pseudoscience. It's a license to discriminate," she added. "And
the people whose lives and opportunities are literally being shaped by
these systems don't have any chance to weigh in."
