Computers Interviewing Humans (Part 2)
Given that we're using computer algorithms to evaluate humans, can these systems be gamed or fooled? And is it possible that computers are less biased that humans? On any given day, humans can be distracted, tired, sick or just flat out biased against people for any number of reasons. Should these systems be more transparent? How do we know if they're being fair? Do we need to regulate these services? Is there a happy medium here? And finally, if you feel that you've been unfairly discriminated against by these systems, is there anything you can do about it?
