There’s a lot to chew on in this short article (ht @ajsadauskas):

“An AI resume screener…trained on CVs of employees already at the firm” gave candidates extra marks if they listed male-associated sports, and downgraded female-associated sports.
Bias like this is enraging, but completely unsurprising to anybody who knows half a thing about how machine learning works. Which apparently doesn’t include a lot of execs and HR folks.

Hello. May I share this thread on LinkedIn?
@beccanalia Sure, link away. It’s public, so link to the first post should make the whole thread visible to anyone, even if they’re not logged in to Mastodon.
Thank you. I like to ask or, if I don't receive a timely response, at least tell folks what I would like to do / have done re their posts.
@beccanalia
That’s gracious. In my case, I treat everything I post here as fully public, but I like the respect you’re bring to this environment.
It annoys me that the culture on the WWW, since it's first wide adoption has been that information wants to be free -- and how that completely ignores the SOURCES of whatever that information is.
Attribution matters because it offers context and it respects the OP or creator.
