The Data-driven Recruiter: AI’s Impact on Recruiting

The idea of AI has been with us since Mary Shelley published Frankenstein in 1818. The recent HBO show Westworld is basically the same story. Pop culture has created an image of AI that offers tantalizing benefits, but is also a Pandora’s box capable of unleashing forces that will wreak havoc. From Forbidden Planet to The Matrix, AI is usually shown in a dystopian world, with the subtext being that we did this to ourselves. Elon Musk recently described AI as being an existential threat to the human race, conjuring up visions of HAL and Skynet.
